1/72 Stirling IV exhausts - replacements

[Simon]

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:

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?

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...

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...).

I think it should be a good match. Good luck and great Stirling by the way!
