 Hi All Starting shortly my build will begin on here. I will be doing some small mods but nothing too fancy as I think she is a great model as she is. Regards Andy  Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Steve thanks for looking in and your comments, as iv already said I wont be doing to much on the mod side on this one just small enhancements where there needed if at all as I think the detail on this as it stands is top notch anyway. I know many are doing there own enhancements and that,s fine with me I just feel this is one kit that stands on its own as she is supplied.

Hi All I have been collecting this for ages now and so I have several packs and iv been a little too busy to start until now, so here goes. Pack 1, no major issues here everything went together like a dream just needed to grind a couple of mil off the rear screws holding the fin's on as they stuck out a little too much from the tab for my liking. I have drilled out the Brake disc and will probably add a wash later. I have found the tyre good year prints to be on the fragile side and easily scratched so I will replace those.

Hi All Packs 7-9. Made up the rear mono plate and the front shock absorber's and finished off the right radiator housing, inked the shocks and struts then made up the cockpit. made up the front shock plare assemble and added the front mono end plate. Fixed the head plate and rear plate to the mono then made up the front underfloor and brake/clutch reservoir's and added the steering assembly. Added the front plate and the reservoir's/brackets. Assembled another tyre/wheel then added the left wishbones and front hub,glued the cockpit in place then added the tube to the battery on the left radiator housing then the right front suspension was added. Again everything went together without any issue's although i know some of you have had problems stretching the tube ends, using a tooth pick as recommended in the instructions didnt work for me so I used the point of a pair of tweezers to stretch the tube and it worked fine as long as your quick to fit it in place. more soon.

This has to be my personal favourite due to the detail offered as a kit of this size and great to see another build diary Andy. Spence
