Hi, Daryl, which part of NZ are you in? There are certainly more than 3 Lewis MGs in NZ. I have physically handled 2 of them and have seen the number of them bought by Peter Jackson in Wellington from the Royal Nepalese Armoury. Think you'd be looking at more than 30 in NZ.
PJ's mates at the
Omaka Heritage Centre have done some outstanding work with resin replicas for their static and flying WW1 aircraft. Perhaps drop them a line, or drop in over Easter 2009 for a chat.

Are you in the NZAAHA? The President of the Canterbury Branch does some excellent work producing solid, non-firing MG replicas in Aluminium, and has even done a couple set up for Gas-Firing. At this stage, I think he has done 6 different MGs so far, and one might have been either a Lewis or a Vickers K.
