I can't see the picture of the product clearly enough, so I cannot tell what company the gasoline pump is supposed to represent. Whatever it is, is it French only, or throughout Europe? What about other parts of the world (such as Vietnam?) Thanks.

I received the kit yesterday, and it looks good. Bad news is, there are no instructions for gluing or painting, nor is there any fuel hose provided! Can anyone give me more help on this (pictures, websites, anything?)

The picture of this pump on Azimut's website reminds me of the pumps built by Satam in the 20-40's (called "bijaugeurs") like this one :


...even if some of the internal details are different. Satam was a french company, established in 1921. Azur was a french oil company.

Maybe you'll find interesting stuff and info there :
