PS Is it really a good idea to use sellotape over the dials? Yellows with age, least the stuff we have here does anyway. Mark

G,day mate Great review. My two will be winging their way to me next week. cheers Mark

How am I supposed to choose just one scheme to do!

Thats good news

As pointed out above, the Tamiya kit is a MkII so is unsuitable without a MkI conversion kit. ref: Universal Carrier Mk.I/II Military Vehicle Workshop Series MV-12. Allied Command Publications What about one of these Johnnyboy: here

G,day Roy A common problem with vinyl. You may want to try applying some heat from a hair dryer and straightening them, unfortunately though, they are likely to shrivel. Sadly I know of no replacement tracks for the Chafee, only some for Shermans from MR Model and that is 1/72nd. It would be too wide I think.

Yay! Been looking forward to the Demon. I would love to see the Gauntlet, Grebe and Gamecock back and done using injection moulding. The Gauntlet and Grebe are really hard to find second hand, though I'm chuffed with a vac Gamecock picked up recently. Just me xmas wish listing John!

Heya Stig Have to say that is a darn good effort after 15 years mate. I hope my effort with this kit is as good. As you have done the Spit maybe I should do my Tamiya 109E3 as a WiP. Yea, those decals in the spit kit did not impress me much when I saw the white blanks. C'mon Tamiya, what are you doing? I managed to buy as set of the Southern Expo Hornchurch -v- Luftwaffe decals from Freightdog Models to use on mine. Mark

Hi I sold some Merlin kits a few years ago on Ebay, Airco DH5, DH9 and 1/2 strutter, they never fetched anywhere near those prices. But then again they just don't deserve to . Mark
