Lucky you Phil, that's the one I made the seller an offer on last week and he refused, I only took off the postage!!, the two kits were not sold and he relisted!!
I've been back and nearly pressed the button, (several times!!)but as much as I want it,and I know it's a great model, I've relented on the temptation!!
I have a'Modelart' mag issue 56, circa 2010 here at work in my 'book drawer' and it's full of nothing but praise, and at what you have paid, bargain!, the mag says it could cost up to 300, it's a great buy for sure!!(jealous)
Now, if I had not purchased a rake of 4 MK1 coaches this morning, and now that YOU have bought one of these kits, I would certainly have bought the other, but that's me budget done and blown!!..bugger!!!.....Dave

[bluedot0]

One has to get your priorities correct........wasp, coaches, wasp, coaches........coaches...just gets in by a half head..........Phil

[berth44]

Tis a bugger though Phil!!......Dave

I'm going to bury this boat for another day, save it till when my patience is at a high, it's disappointing, but I'm not at all happy with her. It's only the aftermarket parts I have that has saved her from the bin.........Phil

[berth44]

I'll play a sad song on the bagpipes Phil, maybe Amazing Grace, that's a perfect 'lament' to play for things like 'the going down of Graf Spree'..but seeing as ah canny play the bagpipes we'll settle for a wee prayer ....cough...."into the closet I thee put, there, thou shalt rest until the days pour doon way rain...or the coos come hame....god bless you...amen.........

Thank you Dave.......she will be happy resting in the dark of the cupboard, she will have time to lament her makers poor moulding techniques, and await the day she will see the light when construction begins again.....Phil
