I purchased the 1/35 Italeri SDKFZ 234/4 Panzerjaeger kit (the Puma chassis
with long 75mm gun)--and it's missing the directions. Could someone e-mail
me a scan of the directions or mail me a copy. I would of course cover
postage.

Anyone know if this is still available in the non-clear version?  Hannants
only list the clear one, at an eye-watering £50.  Also, what after-market
parts are worth getting, apart from the Tamiya struts etc?
Thanks

made).

I am considering upgrading my vacform machine pipe from one inch to
two. I use a surge tank which is evacuated and the inlet opened with a
levered ball valve. To widen the pipe is easy enough but means
replacing the release valve with a two inch valve. Can anyone identify

Returning to modelling after some oooooh 20plus years I guess, I've sort of
