Hi all this one finally done.the steps, controls, hinges, handles, an seats all in now.did have to file out castings to take seat backs.but part from that no real issues from here on in.conclusions.makes a nice model in the end but lot of fit issues, needed sorting out.few omissions from kit in my opinion, no window frames for large windows or doors.the decals they supply really do need looking at by them.lousy coiled 1.5mm wire in this kit.I personnely don't think it's a beginners kit.need couple under your belt before you tackle this one.its been a challenge an frustrating at times.but I did enjoy doing it overall.just one pic here as will put the rest up in finished build section.many thanks to all who viewed and commented on this build.it really is appreciated very much.anyway that concludes this build diary.thankyou.cheers and happy moddelling mick. mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,

Looks fantastic Mick.Superb job.Just like the Jupiter kit I am working on these OCCRE kits are way more work than they appear to be.You really have done an outstanding job on this model though.

Superb Build These Kits have there good parts and then ........ I am also building an OcCre Kit like Darby Vet, The Jupiter 4 4 0 Train. As you say these kits are not a first time build. The instructions are basic i.e. Here are your parts and here is a picture of what it will look like together with an exploded diagram of which parts go where. And as for the decals, if those supplied with the tram are anything like those with the Jupiter  .I agree OcCre should look at these and change/update them. Having said that I did need some replacements which although they took a while did arrive at no cost to me Current Build:-
[color=blue]Stash Avro Lancaster (Full Kit)plus some extra issues I picked up at a good price
[color=blue]Built:- Norman Catapult by Mantua,Roman Catapult by Mantua,HMS Victory,HMS Victory XSection,Focker DB1,Bismark,English Carronade Titanic Lifeboat,American Civil War Gatling,Hummer,Sopwith Camel F1,Occre Jupiter ,OcCre Wagon, Latina Arab Dhow, Eaglemass Orrery OcCre Rogers 119 [color=red][color=red]RB7,OcCre Missippi River Boat, Model Airways Fokker DR1
OcCre London L>C>C 106 Ugears Scrambler, Ugears Hexapod Explorer UGears Off-Road Vehicle

Beautiful work Mick, this is quite an impressive looking model and you have done a super job with it despite the apparent pitfalls of some of these Occre kits - very well done.
