Barry Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Got the resin kit from the French dude, 'Manu S' on 2nd January 2007, so far all i have done with it is cut off the excess resin that is on the parts from the casting and sand them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 You would think the castings would have been fettled for the price of them wouldn't you Baz..... does it look like it will be an easy build?? Well, i've never built anything like this before, nearest is a few Airfix kits, but after getting all the parts out of the box and seeing whats what, buying a few brochures and downloading a lots of pictures, i can now guess what goes where and in what order. Gonna take my time doing it so don't expect to see it done for a while, but i'll keep the picture coming as i go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
