	FFFIG001 British Tank Crew, Set 1, Cast Resin 1:48th Scale £6.00


	FF004 Universal Carrier Track replacement parts 1:48th Scale £15.00

Back by popular demand, but still in limited production, set FF004 includes replacement tracks and wheels for the Tamiya Universal Carrier kit. These parts are built using the modern stereolithographic process, and include details that would be impossible to reproduce in injection moulded plastic. Instructions are included, but once seperated from their build frame these are essentially a straight swap for the original kit parts. This picture shows a finished model fitted with these parts and illustrates the difference they make to the look of the model. Thanks to Lu Rodriguez for allowing us to use the photo of his model.
