Has anyone seen any out there on the market? I know I saw some by an English company but I was wondering if there were any more choices? Thanks guys
The only ones I have ever seen are probably the same guy, take a trip past http://www.theaerodrome.com and ask in the modeling forum there,… if anyone knows they will be there.
Which aircraft? they all used slightly different types and sometimes a mixture of types.
Your probably better off making them yourself, it’s easy & your going to need around 60++ which won’t be cheap.

Hi, LB, this might be the company you’re thinking of, Bob’s Buckles:
I know of many modelers who have used his photo-etched turnbuckles and accessories and have enjoyed the results. I recommend taking a look.

My problem with that site is that there are no images of the buckles themselves … ! the illustrations just look like wire loops!
If you are open to making them from scratch, there is a great, illustrated tutorial here:

Thanks Guys. The kit I am going to add the buckles to is the Albatros DVa from Wingnut wings. Bob’s buckles looked good to me anyway so I will give them a shot!!

I have used Bob’s Buckles before, and they really are a quality product. Bob is a great guy to boot, highly recommended!
Thanks I’ll take your word and order from Bob!
