Pete,
You are cracking on there. Are you going to blank off the underside holes and especially the one behind the drive sprocket which can be visible frome the rear quarters.
Cheers, Mike.

I could have sworn I posted on this build already. Really enjoy seeing you update kits the way you do. Wonderful detail and research going on already. Hopefully the PE kit turns up soon. Keep up the great work. Taking notes as we speak :thumb2::smiling3:

Hi Simon and thanks, I've seen the three frets and your not joking about being small.
Will still have a go at fitting them.

Hi Pete,
Not a problem with the etch, just replace what you think needs replacing, nick the wifes flat eyebrow tweezers as your holding device, and then deny all knowledge of seeing them. Wife now looks like a Wookie...
Just off to hide.... Cheers, Mike.

Hi Mate,
Sorry to hear about the uploading I would imagine there is a glitch in the system. I think the SMF thing is for those who paid the subs recently.
As for promotion no worries mate I have reached my ceiling a modeller who just tries to keep up.:smiling:
