Does Def. Model include the rim stiffeners used on Famos front wheels?

No Paul, they don't include them. You use the stiffeners from the Tamiya kit on them. I've never used the included masks either...

Going to give these a go, low on frisk film, apparently reusable, we'll see.


And not for the current build but a future one, and not wanting to start a row about "correct colours" but.....

Karl,
I've just used some Top Notch masks on a Spitfire and Mosquito and was quite pleased
They sealed very well although,did take just a little while to get used to applying.As for "reusable",hmmmm, not so sure about that,but that could just be me!

Probably be me too then.

Anyhoo postie's been and I'm adding some FAA love to my RAF journey.....
There's a few issues as this is based on their Skua kit, apparently the Roc had asingle fuel tank not a twin and the prop was also bigger, I'll have to check these but should be easy to fix. ( Or ignore......)

Interested to see this built….I have the Skua in my stash……seriously stupid concept for a fighter aircraft though……,

Apparently the wings need some serious filling on both kits.
(And I'm interested in seeing the Skua built.)

The Amazon man called - I'd been after a new saucepan & found one a few pounds short of the £20 threshold for free delivery - I had a look around for a top up & found this at £11.99 - much cheaper than anywhere else!

A quick glance - it seems to have a full set of PE railings :thumb2:

Result!

[outrunner]

Took a risk on this with a well battered box but everything is fine and all sprues are still in factory sealed bags and it was cheap enough.

I have one more kit on the way and that's enough money spent for this year!

For some reason i saw this and instantly thought of the T.V. show 'BJ and the Bear'

[outrunner]

Yes, same type of truck, I think ERTL or AMT did a 1/24 model of the BJ and the bear one a few years ago.

Can you see how I ripped into this package with feverish enthusiasm? Raphael 8404's - do you blame me?
