But that is beside the point, I thought this forum was the place for novice builders to ask their maybe daft and obvious questions to get hopfully helpful advice from more experienced builders without ridicule.

Once again i totaly agree with Lonestar...we are all in this together...and the instructions can be ...not too clear ....thats why i come on here to see what is what in the victory builds....and remember we are paying over 700 quid for this model...so there is no such thing as a daft question ....just expensive mistakes .John..

Viper When I was in the pusser they always said 'The only daft question was the one you didn't ask!' Well done, I'm a bit behind with my build but keep the questions coming, personally I find it very useful. It's easy to miss a subtle observation in the instructions and by this forum, hopefully, we steer a straight course. Good Luck with the build. ArtfulBodger Previous Build: HMS. Bounty
