Isn’t this whole thread wishlisting?

The instructions show that the IRST is not used, but that is incorrect. Blackjack does sport this device. Strange when the colour profiles and the made up model in the instructions both have the IRST

Thank you

Has anyone done a comparison between the two? I ask as I’m in a quandary as to which one to get. Putting the size to one side, I do like the stressed skin effect on Airfix’s model, but having a penchant for Tamiya kits, I have always wanted to have to have a crack with one of their 1/32 kits. I would be interested to know how the detailing compares, and which is deemed the more accurate.

Eh?

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

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?

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.
