Hi

looking for a windmill kit in 1/35 i know verlinden used to have a ruined one and jaguar seemed to have one back in the ninety's for at least a couple of minutes ,but it's harder to find then an honest politician.

Hi Bruce,

If you can't get them closer to home them Hstorex Agents

and Netmerchants

http://www.netmerchants.co.uk/section.php/543/6/9d5e0d04abf48f7e7059f338b36cbd1d

should both have the Verlinden Ruined kit.

Best I can do.

Cheers

Hello,

Rémi does one in vacuform. I bought it, not very simple to built and a lot of putty needed, but it's compelete and nicely reproduced.
But I don't know where you can find Rémi product. I guess its a polish brand.

And they are really cheap !! 8€ if I'm correct.

Best,

Julien

Hi Bruce
look here:
http://www.modelbouwbloemendaal.nl then scroll down, look for 'windmill' ('molen' in Dutch) at the left side. it's an Amati kit, I'm not sure if it's still in production.
It's also here http://www.historicships.com/TALLSHIPS/Amati/DutchWindmill/Windmill.htm

It's not cheap nor exactly 1/35 but maybe it's helpful

As you say, it's not cheap !!!!!! 235 €
Try to find Remi products, you will save 223€ lol
I know I bought some Remi product in a French shop, Azimut, which is also now on the web : http://www.phpshopxml.com/azimut.shop
Ask them, they may have the answer.

best,

Julien

The not so easy way is to build one yourself, might be a bunch cheaper.
I know of a site thats an "all you wanted to know about windmills" site so if you decide to try it I can email you some info.
Good Luck,
Bob

I was browsing Great Models webstore and came across a windmill made by Jaguar. This post is a little late but better late than never.
