Aluminum Supplier in UAE / Dubai?
Any of you guys in this part of the world have a source for a modeler looking for aluminum for some modeling projects? I have a guy that wants to make some parts, but doesn't know where to source material.
Any help would be great.
thanks
Dennis

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. McMaster won't sell overseas except to established customers (they told me this morning). By the time someone buys it here and ships it, it will cost so much there is no point, so I wanted to find him a closer supplier.

Golden Marine trading. Al Jaddaf free zone. They have a fairly huge selection of standard aluminium.
I get all my hi-spec aluminium from Mac Master Carr.
By the way Dennis, would you be able to make a pair of main F-18F wheels for the 1/7 th scale FEJ F-18F ?

It's a hassle trying to find a drop or two of 6061 or higher with-out buying a 20 foot length but it's out there. Good luck.

thanks for Golden Marine.

I would need to know the sizes of them - you are looking for the newer style F-18 wheel.
thanks for Golden Marine.

I am actually looking for a full scale 1/7th size F/18F wheel.
My problem is that I do not have a scale documentation about the plane right now and I do not know the size of the real plane main wheels.
I was wondering if you had access to such data and could make up something close enough.
I could supply a spare wheel hub ( since the strut imprint is very specific ).
Cheers.
Oli.

If you are look for some small bits... I have a bunch of cut-offs at my shop. Depending what he needs, I may have it. The aluminum it self is cheap... but a small box may cost $40 just to ship it.
PM me if you are interested. (I can take Paypal)
