Hello I am looking for a small item for mt clockwork engine it is a ribbed axle 15mm long and 3 mm wide with small fixing pins on each end , the axle contains 6 ridges. The one I have has snapped in 2 and the end foxing pin has broken off it is a link from one gearwheel to drive to another thanks for any help with this /media/tinymce_upload/88080f433c9447191e4db87d308f0873.jpg

Again like my Black Knight of Nurnburg this is not strictly Airfix but worth another mention - if allowed? Bought this chap cheap off ebay and now restored him - he was in a bot of a mess and it looked as if Bostik ? was used to glue the parts as it was very rubbery/media/tinymce_upload/14de6d65c12f3eeb46c980957226d209.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/d3ae2a64d03184f66af26772cd99ce88.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/eaebf0175f96376048f590fcb70dd097.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/20282a7ee273c73dffe5a588714a97ad.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/88c8d04d5c3ae8792654f8d7b153d730.jpg

This is amazing I only wish Airfix would do the same with the older kits

It is an amazing collection I am getting there too with mine

I am not sure this will be allowed as it is NOT Airfix but i cannot find anywhere else to post it and I think it does deserve a mention I bought this broken and incomplete kit off ebay covered in dust and probably left in a box or attic since 1958 and set about restoring it I did not have a lot to work on to be honest I just used paint clay and carved wood and of course a pidgeon /media/tinymce_upload/164150c816fec3801c1c752eb161c0a7.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/c903192b6fcf486614f42327c98bc195.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/07b985006f861349a223ece223c64aec.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/e7e2171af5440bc1b70c286d67555857.JPGfeather

I bought this broken Spitfire off ebay at a very cheap price and have now "restored" it It is amazing what can be achieved with carved wood card glue plastic cellophane and paint ! /media/tinymce_upload/17d31e0d07c87c540a14af50ab4cfe57.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/2b849a5642cbda36031986e450b7d3a5.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/32f4ed01ad7e304d6c113a60cf56f3a2.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/9f0f516354743aaac598b34a25543de4.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/cd2d67b6c6d39b2aec84d9432ac53d93.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/db8210a94b5722e15903fd7d0f017b0e.JPG
