Your packing in some great detail Ken. I must admit to not knowing there was so much to add to one of these kits so very good value for money in terms of how much build time it gives you. Happy Modelling

Lovely work , I am currently awaiting delivery of this kit. Although I will not be carrying out the extra work on the model you are (not sure my skills will cope with it) I am interested in the Paul Koo upgrade kit, where is the best place to acquire this if you don't mind me asking.

Those weathering powders look like they will give a nice result to the exhaust. Happy Modelling

Hi all well here is the first disappointment with the upgrade kit he supplies the steel beads to make the banjo connectors for various connections but then tells you to use poacher 2 millimetre bolts for the head of the banjo connector (there are none supplied in the kit only cross head screws) I realise Paul has built loads of poacher kits, this is my first so I don't have any poacher 2 mill bolts, what I do have though is these.  So onwards and upwards  I've made the springs for the exhaust too.    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi Ken I thought this might be a fairly straightforward kit to build but to me it looks very complex. Credit due though - you certainly know what needs doing and how to do it. Following along with you on this one as its a lovely model made up but needs some skill to get it together. Happy Modelling
