This is not true about the MGC's anyhow. Recently just got one and it's 1:1 to the denix.
This one looks strange and to small.

Do you have another source for a good, pre-cut grill for the Denix?
"Strange and too small"?
Maybe strange is to strong of a word but it definitely looks small on the denix is all.
Not sure why. The Denix magazine is slightly fatter, yes, but it's the same height as the real deal. And the Veyron engine cylinders are a known size. I've got some other Shapeways replicas handy to compare against one of the real ones and the dimensions line up. One would have to send a message to the seller to ask if he adjusted the scale or other dimensions at all (like maybe widening it to allow for the Denix's width), or if he just "trimmed" more away from the opening.

Veyron was the company that released one of the kits that used that dummy radial engine kit -- a Hawker Tomtit. Some of us refer to the company, since the parts were used for more than one airplane. And I feel less silly typing it than "Tomtit".

Lol, thanks. I was wondering when Bugatti got into the mix.
Oh!
I should have been more specific, I've had Denix's that were different sizes from each other.
Only issue I've had with the denix is that their wood grips sometimes don't quite fit the same from mauser to mauser.

I've only had the DEC wood grips but I have a serious woody for 'em... horrible pun intended.
H0llyw00d, thanks for calling me on the Veyron thing. I began feeling like something was off when you mentioned the Bugatti. The company was Veron. Proounced roughly the same, but I apparently have been subconsciously using the spelling for the car. Erk. :$:facepalm

I'm sure there is lots of these out there already, but I made a painting template for the weathering on the scope mount if anyone is interested. It is sized for a Todd's costume bracket, so if it doesn't fit yours for some reason give me some measurements and I can resize it for you.

Very nice. I'll have to see if I can get a stencil made.
