This was my standby build whilst I was waiting for paint/glue to dry on the Tram. (Also when I felt the need to stand back and think about the next step) Although a small build by comparison to some of my others it still had its challenges, but hey there’s no fun when it all goes too easily. The instructions consist of pictures with a list of the parts to be assembled at that particular stage. Careful attention is needed to the pictures. I found some difficult to read because of the angle the picture was taken. One of them seems to contradict what has gone before. Fortunately this did not affect my build. Had to replace some of the brass components on the winch as the rods provided where too thick and did not fit. Drilling out the winch was not an option. Still I am happy with the final result Pictures attached GilShapley attached the following image(s): 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
