Review Article by Dave Johnson on Sept 7 2009

 

New the aftermarket modeling scene from Hungary is PK Tinyland, operated by Peter Kormos. He is bringing his own Photo Etch range to the market that will add that finishing touch at great prices. Peter has been kind to supply me 4 products from his wonderful range to review. Made from Copper, the parts are nice and thin and very well detailed. Since the parts are made from copper, it’s nice and easy to bend into position and allow realistic poses for seat harnesses. 

On this Etch set, Peter has supplied the four common service panels found on Bf 109, Fw 190 and Me 262. There are two options of oval and round types one larger than the other. A nice bonus is that Peter has included rivet pattern template for the service panels.
Also on the same fret are 9 panel fasteners. A 3-piece affair, which requires some styrene rod (not supplied) or stretch sprue.

I would recommend checking out PK Tinyland’s website, as there are a lot more items Peter does. Which include PSP Matting, RAF, USN, USAF harnesses, array of modeling tools and barbed wire! Prices range from USD$1.50 through to USD $12.00 excluding shipping. You can’t beat those prices!

Peter also offers a Custom Photo Etching service also. Check out his website (http://www.pktinyland.tk/) for more information on that service.

I would like to thank you Peter at PK Tinyland for the review samples.
