It's really fun Jase! I never thought it would be so engrossing. I have had it cellophaned in the box for years thinking 'one day' :-) lol. The shear size of it is amazing, though there were a few occasions when I though 'dam all the pieces are not here'......but then after a few hours per eve every piece started looking the same!

! Something a little different just to past the time untill my last 16 issues of the mclaren build come through. Was a little late with taking up the subscription and have been very good not to start the build till all the bits arrive! ........ I have plenty of other kits awaiting assembly and when I have time to start them I will be sure to put up some build diaries, .......which reminds me........must finish my tank........ :-)

well it certainly different and its certainly big. question is is it going back in the box or leaving it on display? “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
