      Scary stuff Dave but it's coming along nicely with the endeavour of all the hard work going into it. If this is PJs first build then the only way is up after this. Worryingly I have this kit in my stash and I think that's exactly where I'll leave it for the foreseeable future. Looking forward to to your progress. I hope it goes the full twelve rounds. Good luck and onwards and upwards.

        Was I you John, I wouldn't bother. There have to be better versions around - unless of course you're one of those masochistic builders who enjoy the frustrations of fixing the problems on poor kits!

          I've tackled bad kits in the past but more by default than design. I'll not be cracking the lid open on this one anytime soon. I vaguely remember it as the canopy missing anyways so that'll be the excuse to myself. :tongue-out3:

            Congratulations on your patience - or is it stubbornness!

              Lots of both Pete! This thing very nearly got binned 5 minutes after we opened the box.

              I've had a quick look now it's been primed and only found a few minor spots where some repairs are needed. PJ did spot one problem which can't be fixed but I'll give more details later 'cos I'll need some pics.

                Sorry PJ and Dave, another I've unfortunately missed.
                Good for you guiding PJ and nothing like learning with something like this.
                Keep going PJ :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
