hi there, and welcome. if this is anything like victory, just follow the instructions in the mags, in conjunction with tomicks official build, as sometimes there are a few slight errors in the magazines. do this and you will have a model to be proud of. of course if you have the skills you can take the model to a different level. just look at my build and sob's marvellous build. Come on you Jimmies

Thank you everyone for the welcome and the advice given, particulary from the pro builders. I'm looking forward to working with you and seeing the official build and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.
