Unusual subject Ian. It looks a rather nice kit. I've not heard of ACE kits before. What exactly does "digital design" mean?

Yes I know, I built there Stalwart some time ago, very fiddly but looks good when completed.Yeah and its got a lot of small parts too!......nothing you can't handle Ian. Should be fun as well as a bit challenging

It is Tony, there's a little flash, but nothing to worry about.

It’s a Ukrainian manufacturer who makes limited-run kits of vehicles. Usually very well-detailed, but also often fiddly to build as a result.
My guess is they used CAD rather than traditional methods? But that’s an odd thing to mention in the 21st century, I would think.What exactly does "digital design" mean?
Made a start on this one, like I said, there’s some very small pieces to this kit.
Typically ACE, built some of theirs before as they did some odd Russian stuff from WW 2. How are the instructions Ian ? Seem to remember some of mine were rather vague

Blimey...
Been working on the underside of this, so many tiny parts. But all done now.
Got a little bit more done.
Cheers Mick, you need it with this kit.
Got the cabin fitted and painted.
I doubt you’ll see much when it’s all put together.
