IMPORTANT UPDATES, September 2023: In June, Friends Models was the victim of a "hacking/identity theft" attempt. We have updated our PayPal account and it is secure, but, most of the existing Paypal "payment links" on the FRIENDS website, haven't been updated and are no longer functional. If you click on a purchase link and it will not allow you to complete the transaction, please contact me directly. I will send you a PayPal invoice from our updated Paypal account, and you can pay from the invoice. You may also pay by "check through the mail", or by credit card "over the phone". As time allows, the payment links on the website will be updated.
As of September 2023, the following payment links have been updated and are active:
Harry Sait feed pump drawings
H.J. Coventry vertical stationary engine castings
H.J. Coventry Marine Compound Engine drawings
Tom Thumb original (1941) drawings, and wheel castings
Hiroaka 3/4" scale A3 driver and cylinder packages, USA shipping.
Also, please note, our longtime bronze/aluminum foundry has closed. We have a new foundry producing our bronze and aluminum, but, the wait times are longer than at the prior foundry. Thank you for your patience.
