I've read many times how difficult this model is, even for the experienced. But I feel it's the right one for me purely for nostalgic reasons because, being a Londoner, it's the bus I used to get to school and into town, (didn't like school, but liked the ride, especially upstairs where I could smoke🙄). When I was looking for a model it just kept calling, so I gave in. I'm going in open eyed and am certainly going to give it my best shot but I know it's going to be hard.
Going by the information you and others have given me I'm pretty sure I'm going to use a spray can for the outside body shell and brush for everything else.
Thanks again.
