I recently discovered that there is a Fox moth based at an airfield down the road from me. I am friends with one of the pilots that operates from there , so as soon as lockdown lifts I will have the opportunity to get up close with my camera and ruler

I would say it is the Airfix wing that is wrong then. Ther should be one more, shorter rib outboard of the wing tip light

You have the port wing root lined up with the centre line of the fuselage instead of the outside edge. Try it and see how it looks

This is a really good idea. Thank you very much

Haven’t been for a couple of years, but wow! I have never seen it so packed! I am sure I have missed a lot simply because I just walked on by as it was so crowded! Nice to see the Mach 2 and Icelandic VC10s (the latter gets my vote), and the Airfix Vulcan, but that Wnw Lanc....! i don’t think I have seen so many entries in the competition, and the standards were the highest I had ever seen! The show is so big now I think I am going to have to make it a 2 day event next year!

I had a look at both the Mach 2 and Alan’s VC10 models at Telford, and I have to say I think Icelandic have got it right. £40 price difference between the two (£80 and £120 respectively) I would happily spend the 40 quid extra to get what I think is a better product

That is the pack I am going for. Just need another of the blue grey ‘ wipes’ container and bits for the exhaust port

Thank you HL-10. Have you got any of your kit still?

Hello all Here a a couple of Star Wars Stormtrooper DLT-19s I have made from scratch , and is subject of a wip here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235046346-dlt-19s-or-are-they-mg34s/ I hope you like them as much as I have enjoyed making them!

Hello there Ooops Fixed Butt plate and screw in place Final filling around butt and buffer release catches. The Lafette tripod lugs are from Sharpie pens Some of the grub screws in place

I thank Plasto for the information given, but I found the opening paragraph of the second post hinted that I was being lazy in not researching when what I thought was asking was a simple straightforward question. I am not knowledgeable on AFV matters so that is why I asked here, where the experts are.

I take offence to that condescending remark. What do you think I have been doing?? It’s because I have not found the answer that I have come on here to ask!

Ok I am even more confused. The list states that the 167 had the stuk 40, but according to wiki, ALL Stug IVs has this

Can any of you knowledgeable peeps tell me what the difference was between a a Stug IV Sd kfz 163 and a Stug IV Sd. Kfz167? Also the Tamiya kit comes with an MG42, but all photos of the real thing show an MG34. Is either acceptable?

It is a lovely little kit. I was quite taken by the moulding in the u/c legs. The only mods I made to my kit was to separate and split the airelons and drop the beaver tail. I had more fun masking and painting the various greys
