This interesting looking kit arrived today.

Its basically a PE kit with some aditional pastic parts too.

I was toying with the idea of using this as my 2016 build of the year but still undecided. I will make a decision as soon as my ex has moved out and I can get some space back to start modelling again.

This does look like it will be a challenging kit as the instructions seem a little lacking but once you work out how it all goes together I think it will look very cool Cool Even better with some paint added too.

Some of the plastic parts will need to be repainted due to the poor finish.

Looks a very interesting kit Dave and a very nice subject too - love the Hellcat! - should build into a splendid looking model when finished?!

I'll look forward to you starting this when you get round to it? Cool ThumpUp

I will be watching this with interest.I built the ho-229.It was a trying build, but looked OK once finished.

The metal is quite thin and it is hard to bend accurately.Also the instructions are a bit eye boggling.I had to really study them to figure out where pieces went.

Good luck with this one Dave.You may need a swear jar and some good magnification for this one!!!
