Well it was a 6 month battle with Italeri, but finally after a blistering e-mail to them (polite but full of piss and viniger) some one got there stuff together and my short shot and broken parts are finally being sent to me.So now my Vosper can get going. Only problem is that the P.T. boat Acc. set (bought 2 of them) part E-30, the I.F.F. antena was smashed flat on both, but Italeri does not seem to have the spare parts for it yet. That's o.k. for now as I wont need it till I'm twords the end of the build. So for the moment, I'm pleased and the build will continue after the !st of the year. Now we wait and see about the antena's.

A squashed IFF seems to be standard for that set, welcome to the club Bob

Al, no P/E yet. Got to P/U my SAS N.E. jeep for my twin Vicks first. Will have to budget it in though. Can't carry enough guns or bullets you know.
Hey Julian, your right. Bought two sets of them for the Vosper and Elco. Want to do an early Vosper that made it twords the end of the war with the radar and other mod's. So the I.F.F. antenas are crap as they come. M.R.C. hasn't gotten the parts yet. Tried to straighten it out and glued it back together but the tiny plastic (Y) tabs melted, should of used crazy glue. Anyway, the build is on and will use the Channel Adversaries blog to hopefully do a decint job.

I might assume that there was a small arms locker on the Vosper? And if visable inside. Anyone---
