Hi,

My partner has decided that, after my Mclaren MP4/23, Nissan GTR, DB5, McLaren MP4/4 and partial Lambo builds she wants to get in on the act! So she decided that for her first ever build she would do this! It will be as it comes without any mods.

Here is her progress so far:









She's seems to be enjoying it so far!

Cheers


Dave

Best wishes to your better half with the new build.

Its a cracking model and will build into something really special. What has been so far looks brilliant.

I think for what you get with this one its really worth the money.
Happy Modelling

only the pilot seat is on the other side not the whole cockpit. So Han and Chewie would be on opposite sides when sitting.

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of updates, but we were busy doing silly things like getting married!

Anyway It's nearly completed, in fact it was 98% done but unfortunately it had to be taken apart due to the 'standing' screws being put in the wrong way!






Thanks for loooking
