Very nice work to date. Looks like the working space on the inside may be a little limited. Would be interested on your views on this, as I`ve got this one on my "to get later" radar. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Thanks Derek you are correct the space is limited particularly if you have larger hands or clamps are holding things in place.Any sanding of the inside will also need to be carefully done. Al

Al, Have been following your build as this kit has so much potential. Doing so well so far. I started pricing the AL kit in the US and there is a lot of variation which is good. But, of interest, I went on E-Bay for the fun of it and there was a finished model of the kit up for auction. Asking price was $7,500US!!! Did not see any bids but that is inspiration to excell! Model looked good but..... Keep it up. Tom

Thanks Tom, Another small update on my progress. Have lined the inside of the coach apart from the floor which is next on the agenda. All 4 of the coach wheel are now assembled and awaiting a sanding. Thanks for looking Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Just a small update as have a lot on at moment but hoping to get more done on this as other projects finish. Have now finished lining the inside and work will move to the outside of the coach once the inside has a light sanding. Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Geez,  That looks like planking a ship inside out. WTG Outside should be "easy peasy" after that.  Nice one. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
