Bowser. To me they have shortcomings in the underframe and cast on details but with a little work they are acceptable. Now a double door X31a I would use Rapido but X31, X31b, X31c, X31d, and x31f,

Not right now but you may try on e Bay or ask on HO swap for someone who wants to sell a copy. The way they are bound I'm not sure I could copy and scan without messing my copy up. Fenton Fenton --
