    As usual, I'm late to the party, But this has been a most enlightening build from start to (nearly) finish. All this will help with my own build, But as i came in late, my tardiness has brought dividends & i bought the Meng offering instead.

     

    I really feel for you with those tracks, Mate! Honestly, I would have waited for the Fruil's to turn up, Rather than fight summink thats gonna come off anyway. 

     

    Still, Congrats on the victory, & i look forward to your next build.

    Mine turned up yesterday. Tax man was clearly looking the other way, So even more reason to celebrate!  🤗

     

    In use, They feel light, comfortable & sharp! After the first few cuts, You adapt to them surprisingly quickly, & they have now supplanted the Xurons & even my favourite Tamiya side cutters as the de-facto clippers in the arsenel.

     

    Money VERY well spent!!!!!

    How different is this from Alaska, Dave? Is it just a change of paint scheme, Or a more involved process?

     

    I've got Alaska, But can't find anyone else who's got both to compare with.

    1985. That awefully nice Thatcher harridan was midway thru office. George Michael had a girlfriend, & there was only 1 Back to the Future film.

     

    I was a newbie at a major office in the golden mile, & couldn't join the family on holiday. So...   My dad gave me the keys to his E-Type for the afternoon (with him as passenger: summink about insurance?!?!), £100 cash & a holiday the following year.  THAT JAG!!!!!!  I was 17....   *sigh!*

     

    But the £100 (& the point of this typing) went on a new pair of shoes, Wendy burger (remember them?!?!), 2010 the year we made contact at the Empire Leicester Square & this kit from Hamleys.

     

    The 'dream job' was a nightmare so i left the following year, The shoes lasted a few more years, i'd guess the Wendy was 'in n out' overnight, & the memories of 2010 stayed with me til this day.  Like whats left of the ol' M-247. Whats left of her is in my 'office' (middle room). think it's mainly the lower hull now. But reading this makes me want another one!

     

    Thank you for this build, It made a middle age man 17 again, & not in a Zac Effron kinda way!

     

    Now: TO EBAY!!!

    Some free advice?    Look up ComfortablyNumb & Warreni who did builds here on BM. The Super-Set etch can be tricky, & these guys light the way! 

     

    For me, As i'm building this kit now, the most awkward part so far is either the front flightdeck underside etch, Or part E10 at stage 8. For some reason it didn't sit level with the flightdeck level. Otherwise, it fits like a dream. I built the hull & painted it, then fitted the inserts after.

     

    Hope this helps....
