Thanks Graham

I knew you'd make a good job of this Ian! Is the build quality as good as it looks in the box?

Hi Dave thanks for the comment. Yes the kit goes together very well, no flash and only few sink marks but they are on parts that won't be seen, but some of the PE is a little fiddly

Hope you got your magnifiers and tweezers at the ready Ian.

So when (and if ....) I get around to mine, I'll have no problems apart from some 'fiddly' PE? I wish!

I've just read through the thread again and realised you haven't shown all the boys and girls just how big this thing is. How about one with the now universal standard of measure for model kits?

Superb work Ian , its another tiddler isnt it. The decks look great and i dont envy you with the p.e.! Its a very finely moulded kit , I was very impressed with the Bronco kit i just got too , lovely detail and p.e. and a turned brass pitot included , it seems theyre a company to watch out for , cheers tony

Yes Bronco seem to be quite good, clean crisp mouldings and from what I've seen quite accurate

Hi Aaron I do have and use a PE bender but like you at times the blades do the job just fine
