However, I have the impression that they purchased many of their track sets from another company that made them before.
Ah yes its all comming back thoes little bits either us or or they got it wrong i couldn't make any sense of it either I think I just left them off in the end its not as if the plastic sprocket police are going to knock on the door after all you all only know because of my confession no doubt someone out there will be more than willing to explain our lack of understanding. DaveWow just had one hell of rain storm, lightening, thunder right over your house !and hail
At least it will be hopefully cooler .
Not all on the level,but hoping the base can be made to suit.
Those pins on the inner side of the ring were a troublesome addition. Also the pin length for the drive wasn't long enough to even go into the hike in the sprocket. Either me or they got it wrong . I check several times to see if the assembly was correct
I've built a few Trumpeter kits and have to say they were great. Far better than any of the Hobby Boss . Bought the HB some time ago , liked the choice then , but should have tested the water first !

You are right, Allen. In fact, the Friulmodel logo, the golden eagle on a blue background is the coat of arms of the Friuli, a part of Friuli Venezia Giulia region, one of the 20 Italian administrative regions.
I know were I went wrong!! Mr autocorrect changed my original spelling to fruit and I changed fruit to fruil. (Because I’m lazy). :smiling3: :thumb2:
True Andrea. His last name is Puppato and he is definitely Italian. Where he was born exactly, I don't know. He moved the firm to Hungary from Italy, years ago. Here we are at the World Model Expo, last July, in Veldhoven, NL,
The company was originally based in Trieste, IIRC (and if I don’t, then it was at least another city in northern Italy
) before moving to Hungary (and changing its name from Friulmodelissimo to Friulmodel).
Excuse my ignorance here chaps, what exactly are ‘fruils’ in relation to tracks.
Been following this thread but the reference to fruils is meaningless to me. Tried the internet!!! Even more confusticated!!!!
Help!!! Short words please, brain can’t cope with long words
My fault entirely, spelling is not my best subject ! With out spell check I'd be lost
John, I find even when I spell a word correctly something in the innards of this thing changes it!! I really need to check what's being checked without me knowing it's being checked!!! Technology!!! Love it!! (Sometimes)
After some research, I found that the firm "Friulmodellismo" was in a little town north of Udine, just 20 minutes by car from where I live. Unfortunately (at least for me :rolling:, probably not for him and his firm), Mr. Puppato moved to Hungary, near Szekesfehervar, some 6 hours by car from here :disappointed2:, some years ago.
That was it. I kind of butchered the name a little
OK, and that part too … But at least I got it right that it was in northeastern Italy
Hi Ian , can you see from there ?
