6 hours


6 hours

A quarter of a day in and I’ve nearly reached the end of the soldering. All the etched bits have been attached apart from the roof. Handrails are on, although the plan shows a couple more that there aren’t holes for. I just need to add handles on the bonnet doors. The wheel overlays need sorting to but I’ll put a motor in first.

The kit fairly flies together. I reckon that it should be possible to go from kit to finished in around ten hours. Of course this relies on having built lots of kits before and really going for it. If you allow 12-15 hours, a this will make a really nice model.

Ugly though.
