      Gees...am I really late for this one, sorry about that Tim.
      As for the continuity error in the clip, besides the missing cigarette and foam, right after Mills says what are you waiting for...the long cool Dane should have walked in with the jingle playing. :smiling6:
      Must get one of these...looks a good kit.

      Cheers,
      Wabble

            No issues with lateness Richard. Great film isn’t it! The kit lives up to it to be honest. Nothing major yet that I’ve found to worry about, and it is a good basis for anyone that wants to go full out on upgrades.

                That's a good tip for the future

                  Tim,
                  That interior looks the nuts mate, the finish on the stretchers is first rate.

                    Well, now it's my turn........"Gees am I really late to this one"! Hope there's a seat left for me Tim....if not I'll just stand in the back and keep an eye on the rabble. As Scottie said, those stretchers are just right! They look well used and well scrubbed. Keep it coming :thumb2:

                        PS, not that well scrubbed, one has a stain but no one noticed…..

                            Cheers Tony. Really not that hard, honest. Make up dilute paint of a lighter shade (I added light sand), wet the surface, and fill yer boots Brush down the length of the stretcher and just wick off any large spots with a dry brush to stop any ugly large stains forming. It’s one of the few times overdilution to break up paint structure actually helps :thumb2:

                              It certainly works Tim.

                                Funny thing is John, it looks rubbish until it dries…..then the wear/dustyness just appears like magic :thumb2:
