Finally finished this big nightmare.
You can tell it's really an early '70's kit.
Appalling parts fit, flash everywhere, sink marks, and surprisingly for a 1/8 scale kit, an extremely low parts count - probably about the same as the average 1/24 Revell car kit.
Detail - ?
What detail...?
Due to the age, the decals had virtually disintegrated so I had to spend an age scanning them and then re-drawing them new in Photoshop.
Then I printed my own.
Anyway, now at last finished. Probably one of my least enjoyable builds.
I really can't believe the insane amount of money this kit now fetches.
It genuinely isn't worth much above £100.
However, thanks to all those who followed and offered the much needed support...
