That is looking sleek! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigw Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Nearly finished the build of my Tamiya Pz.Kpfw IV Ausf F. I replaced the two MG34 with Aber turned offerings as they are so much better (albeit at a price). The link and length tracks are very good and quite easy to assemble. I thinned a few pieces down but the whole kit is very nice. In a couple more days I will start painting. Having a good time, a change does one good!

Hi Barry, I have been away from Aircraft Modelling lately - focusing on Railway Modelling - so haven’t really seen the Trumpeter kit in the flesh. I have a couple of Airfix 1:48 Sea Vixen FAW2 kits in the stash along with an Alley Cat resin FAW1 conversion set that I may get round to...

Cheers Darius I have always wondered why we don't see more vac-formed kits in railway modelling. Ideal for short runs and small producers. Here in France, there are even vac-formed car bodies at 1:1 scale. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 There were a few building kits in the 1970s (e.g. Formacraft) and the Davric Leyland Tiger bus was a combination of injection moulded chassis/radiator with a vac-formed body, but they were relatively uncommon. Roxey mouldings coach kits originally had vacuum formed parts - roof, panelled sides, etc. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted May 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2021 Another vacform kit - a Fairey Gannet AS Mk1 built from the 1:48 scale Dynavector kit with a scratch built wing fold. In the short time they were in production, Dynavector produced some superb kits. l Cheers Darius 7 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
