Simon Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hello everyone I'm struggling manfully (well, struggling anyway...) with the Italeri Stirling IV, and have just noticed that the exhausts have all been 'short shot' and are missing some of the 'porcupine' bits. I've asked Italeri for some replacements, but wondered if anyone made after-market ones? Here are the offending items: Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_RAFBC Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'm certain that there aren't any aftermarket Short Stirling exhausts but you could try making something suitable from Quickbost Beaufighter exhausts if Italeri can't help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Yes, I saw the ones for the Hasegawa Beaufighter (72101) and they look pretty similar. I think I could use the front section from the kit part, and graft on a new rear section from the QB set with a bit of fiddling. Worth a go, I reckon, and TBH I'm not sure if any replacements from Italeri might be moulded any better... Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 It's the middle one, 72101, I reckon, which can possibly replace the rear part of the Italeri Stirling exhausts. I've ordered one, so we'll see how it fits (or not...). Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_RAFBC Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think it should be a good match. Good luck and great Stirling by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
