Blushing Okay, I'm up to issue 16 now and the longer I leave it the more afraid to start I'll become, so tonight is the night, I've read plenty, purchased plenty (mag light, wera driver, ultra gel, pva pipe weld, all sorts of plyers, files, cutters etc)so all that's left is for me to start.
The last model I made was a harrier jump jet at a similar age to my son now, some 27 years ago, I'll spare you the maths, I'm 41.
Please be patient with me as I'm highly likely to be asking some basic questions for a while, many thanks in advance

I have just taken delivery of part 17, and I have not started yet.
I am in no rush, It will be a winter project, where I can sit and and have enough parts to spend whole days building.

Plus if there are any problems, or other people have done enhancements I can study these and be prepared to incorporate or not.

Last night was a wash out as my wife and I took an offer the spend an evening with freinds for a Chinese meal and drinks, so only managed to start issue 1, but today has been great, I'm now up to issue 10/11 and I have to say, it's been tenseScared
I have had a couple of very small mistakes that I know about but nobody else will notice, the hardest thing is the black screws going into the suspension plastics, they are so weak, I've rounded off 3 screws despite using a lubricate, what I did work out was that if I used the spare black type B flat head screw from issue 3, the head is much stronger and so I used it for several pilot threads before using the weak black type C pan head screws.
Going to quit now whilst I'm ahead, will see if I get another bite of the cherry tomorrow!
Thank you for all your support BigGrin
