Yiren 566 A Re-Badged Hero 359?

[tamiya]

Anyone still using these homages?

 

Just checked my inked examples, over these 2-2.5yrs found:

 

YIREN: barrel cracked at section threads, I welded it back sometime ago. Now the rubber seal of convertor has grown a crack letting ink leak out into barrel. Otherwise it still writes very nicely.

 

LANBITOU: collar of convertor is plastic and has cracked, releasing the piston twist assembly from operation. Still writes ok, not as wet as YIREN.
