*** Yes Trevor,this model has been a love hate relationship these past two years ! despite the difficulties in ill fitting parts,the flustrations of badly designed and manufactured bits it is coming together,there is always a way round these things given a little thought,once more the model does not profess to be any masterpiece but merely an example of out of the bag standard build,with as much as possible used from the original parts to make good the many shortcomings,once I get this one out of the way then my scratch built 1=8th scale Sopwith Camel will be started,it will not cost me anything like £400,and above all everything will fit together properly as it will be myself cutting out the many parts.
I do hope that you get your bits from Hachette to complete your model,if you need any help with anything that presents problems then the Red Baron forum remains open for everyone.

I've emailed Hatchette to see if I can speed up the last issues as I'm only up to 83. But I won' t hold my breath.

Bodgers unite !!!
