After viewing a post in another thread about the use of metal i was hoping for some clarification. IF Metal can not be used for structural purposes does this extend to the use of metal barrels as well as undercarriage legs on aircraft? I ask as i don't want to fall fowl of any rules for next years nationals. Thanks.

As long as you enter the models into the correct classes, then using metal sub-components isn't a problem. Look out for the classes defined as being for 'ASD' (Any Source Detailed). They permit you to use aftermarket parts such as photo-etch and metal details where appropriate. ASD classes would also cover (unless Tony has updated the rules recently) multi-media kits where the parts are supplied as a mix of plastic, resin and/or metal.
As Nick suggests, the man to speak to is the current Competition Secretary, Tony Horton. He'll give you a definitive answer.
Regards, John

The issue with regards to the use of metal in competition models has been explained by john. And as a previous competition secretary he should know. There is an issue in another post about die cast parts in civilian vehicles, And you can look there for my response, I hope this helps clarify this issue.
