The dapol dockside crane

[peterairfix]

I have had this one as a box of bits and always seem to be getting in the way everywhere I went so I took up the challenge and built it in one morning including scratching a couple of bits it's not painted yet as I am not sure what I am going to do with it.
And it only cost me a pound.

Great. That’s probably older than me….looks to have gone together well though. I did the church a few years ago and thought that held up well for its age.

I have one of these, I hope yours had less flash.

Certainly a quick build but looks good for such an old kit.

Good job Peter. I have one of these cranes too.

Although they get a bit of flak, with a bit of patience, these Dapol kits make up into nice models.

Jim, have you visited the Dapol 'Factory' yet? It's just up the road from you and reasonably close for me, opposite the Morton Garden Centre.
