Getting in just before the deadline.

This has taken quite a bit of effort on my part, as I lost my mojo, and had to really push my limits to get it done.

First problem was getting the undercarriage sorted, I have no idea how I stuffed that up, lets just call it a senior moment

So I got the old undercarriage off, but had to leave part of it behind, and then get that out, I did have another kit, so thought I would rob that and in the meantime get some SAC replacements.

The other undercarriage was a very strange mould, in that it was curved, didn't make sense, but used it anyway, yesterday the SAC one turned up, but it was also curved, very odd.

As previously warned the aerial didn't make it, when I look at the fact that it has 2 injection feeds, never thought it would, so had to scratchbuild one from some strut material.

Can't say I'm a fan of the type of plastic that Airfix is using.

So calling it done
