    Hi Pete ...... Rob is on the case here ( as soon as I am back in the working saddle ) so believe me, unless you intend to fall off the perch anytime soon, you could be pleasantly surprised. :avatar: and ......... the paint job will be out on commission at the same time. this, will be a thing of beauty followed by a Duchess and a 9F to keep it in good company. I will keep a couple of the bigger more demanding kits for myself for when I am allowed to play with the big boys toys. :avatar: Now ....... if you are looking for something to do ....... just let me know as there are plenty more. :tophat:

    cheers

    Truth be told mate, I would rather see you finishing Nelly. That would give you more satisfaction I reckon.

    Cheer's, Pete.

    Yes, just to get a kit running under my own steam and being worthy enough of going to the effort of painting it would be good.

    I couldn't agree more, it's a great feeling when it works as it should.

    a superb kit, really no problems at all, David andrews certainly knows his stuff, pity he isnt manufacturing presently, would be ordering several items.
