Another from the cupboard of doom it's the latest issue and it tells it needed a lot of work.
But a good result

Hi Peter
That's a great result. The kit goes for silly money. It's nice to see one built rather than just "collected".

Stunning,

I did this, the original version, many years ago, and might looked nowhere as gorgeous as yours does..

If you do get an early boxing as this one needs a lot of work.

This is absolutely beautiful, Peter.

Is there a build thread? I'd love to know more about that chrome finish - looks superb. Is it straight out of the box, or your own work?

Very well done indeed!!!! A top finish.

It's straight out of the box the chrome was so thick it would have taken a miracle to remove it.
And build thread is here

It had to happen at some point I couldn't resist starting so here's stage one finished ready for painting slightly different from my first build as that one was an original boxing but still not much flash encountered yet. And this is the original engine with aluminium plate.
