I have to agree with Aeroclub for Vickers - nobody has an etched Vickers
jacket that looks anything remotely right.

I've built many foto-etch gun - they are fiddly but not that hard (I'm
young and patient while looking for cocking handles in the shadows on the
brown concrete floor. . .)

Tom's Modelworks Lewis, Parabellums & Spandaus look awesome - if only the
instructions had better detail on the fittings on the Spandaus. (And if
only the Lewis guns game with extra magazines or some of the large
variety.)
