Magenta Icarex

Wed May 11, 2011 8:01 pm

I'm looking to have a custom DS made to replace the one thats just been shredded by a dog (see other post)

Unfortunatly Tim doesnt have any Magenta Icarex left in stock and as far as I'm aware this colour is out of production (WHY?) I need enough for the middle panel and the two lower wing tip panels.

Does anyone know of anyone or anywhere I can purchase some Magenta Icarex?

I live in hope!

No idea whether he has any, but nothing to lose by dropping Karl Longbottom an e-mail.

Good luck; hope you find what you need so your DS will fly again

54 Magenta thats the one! I will have to brush up on my Dutch before I order!

According to Tim 1 sq Meter would be plenty.

Happy to help you translate if necessary (I'm Dutch, although I've lived and worked in the UK for coming up to 20 years).

Good news! After some brilliant detective work by Mr Benson himself, Tim has managed to source a couple of meters of Magenta Icarex from the good old US of A! So he should be able to make me a replica DS in time for the Crantock gathering. (I may have to bribe him so save the rest to make me Magenta coloured successor to the DS!)

Thanks to everyone out there who helped locate this beautiful colour!
