Last night, my Grandson entrusted me with this kit to build on his behalf.







Cheers all.

You might need to check this one out Ron. I seem to remember having one in the stash and reading reviews that the driver's seat is about an inch too far forward or backward (can't remember which) so it couldn't be fitted. Having read the review, I put it straight on to ebay and sold it to some other suc... buyer!

Probably not a problem if you're doing it all buttoned up though.

Guinness? I thought Boddies was Ron's tipple of choice! Anyway, betcha the weathers been too bad for Justine to throw 'em straight enough for the camera.

I don't know Dave, but in his blog, he said Justine needed a couple of Guinness' before she could throw 'em up in the air properly. Yea, the rain could have something to do with it though..................

Apologies Ron! It's not this one that has the issue with the seat, it's the Dicker Max kit! I believe the Dicker Max was a smaller version of this one with a smaller gun.

Morning 570.
Looks an interesting beast, so will join the assembled members in the front row.
Black coffee please.

Thanks for the encouraging posts boys.
453, I doubt there will be anywhere near enough punters to fill the front seats, so why not choose the second row and then you can put your feet up on the seat in front of you?

To my mates on here expressing concern for the none appearance of the 'Collision' on another build. It has proven to be extremely difficult for my wife to co-ordinate the throwing of both aircraft to achieve the desired angles for the photos. I have had to get assistance from my eldest son. He threw the Dornier and my wife, the Hurricane. All went well and I will post the result soon.

Thank you for your kind thoughts during what was a nail biting and stressful time.

I will have a seat as well, probably not in the front as John might put his feet on my shoulders.

Nice job from the grandson Ron, I’ll be on the second row to stay clear of Mr. Race’s feet too.

I can assure you Fernando that my feet were washed 1st APRIL during the annual pond cleaning.:smiling3:

I’ll grab a chair on this if I may...I’m sure you’ll knock out a belter :thumb2:

So I gather they're washed once a year - whether they need it or not?
