So I have a ton of partially built kits on hold because my spraybooth died and I am in the process of repainting the room where the spray booth was and installing a new one .I had the Deagostini MP4/4 in my stash and figured I would build it since it doesnt need painting.

Anyway here is weeks 1-3.

Carl

Lovely start to your build.

So glad its not just me with loads of part builds, time is a killer for me because of work and caring responsibilities. Still a long way off being able to ditch working and retire BigGrin

We look after numerous stray cats and oddly enough most are pure black (someone told me they get abandoned because they are not liked).

Now i always understood a black cat is a lucky cat so with 5 of them i should have more luck on this planet than most Confused but i think the luck refers to the cat BigGrin there are not many that would buy a summer house and turn it into a cats bedroom Blink

Anyhow as ever i digress but in ending wish you a very happy build with your new model as its a wonderful one from other builds i have seen.
Happy Modelling

BUILDING: Hachette Spitfire Mk 1A, Constructo Mayflower

So the body is complete for the MP 4/4. I had a Senna figure to put in the cockpit.It took me a while to figure out that you have to take off his lower legs to get him to fit in the cockpit, but after that he fit very well.

I am working on the body.I will be putting the Marlboro decals on this car.
