I received notification that my first issue shipped  Really can't wait to start this one. I've been checking out the official build and other members build diarys, plus watching YouTube videos, so I'm highly anxious to see this kit and get started. I'll be sure to post pictures when I can. Best, Barry Building - DeAgostini HMS Victory, McLaren MP4-23, Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Lamborghini Countach

Nice one, look forward to following your build The time between notification of the pack being sent to actually receiving it has to be the worse time ever

Thanks for the comments guys! For me, it's been the time since this forum announced the release to being available in the US was the worst! Building - DeAgostini HMS Victory, McLaren MP4-23, Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Lamborghini Countach

Well the first pack arrived today Here are the pics. Sorry if it's a bit picture heavy     The packaging is superb. Very well protected  Here's a couple pictures of the hood(Bonnet for the folks across thePond!) Paint is pretty good. You'll notice their is some pitting in the paint around the logos. Not too bad though   The detaining on the wheel and tire is outstanding.   The bolts look really nice, although they were a bit of a pain to install  . The tweezers were too difficult for me. So I just took my time and did it with my fingers and the end of a chopstick.    Thanks for looking!

Great start Ponty, it's a great kit.
I also found those boots a right pain, you've got another set to look forward to when you get the other two rocker covers

Good to see another build, just received my first pack as well,i had fun with the first bolt but then had a eureka moment and found them much easier to put in once i placed them onto the end of my Victory toolkit pin pusher Al
