Never got one of the Hillcrest Climaxes from PFM. All of my logging stuff is long gone now. Yes the Hillcrest is expensive as it came toward the end of the PFM era of importing. Beautiful models none the less. Mike
They really were! Except for the overly tall oil filler, which could easily be corrected, everything else on the model was pretty much spot on. They did measure the prototype and worked extensively from photos. The results were really nice, and aside from the occasional glitch, very accurate.
