Nick Belbin Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 That looks great - congratulations. And it would look good in a perspex box on legs. I'm also on the scrounge; I recently had a 'wanted' request for an empty box of this particular version (mine is damaged where the seller just put a skin of brown paper around it; also he'd written my name and address details with a marker that bled through on to the box art 🤬). If it's surplus to your requirements now, may I buy it please? And all associated costs . . . Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, very neat bit of work and question, do you still have the figures that come with the kit, and if so, do you want them? I'm after 1/24th figures is all.. cheers T Thanks Troy. Unfortunately I dont have the figures anymore. My son (8 years old) has got into the hobby in the last year or so and he built them and started painting them yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Proulx Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) I have seen on-line reviews that identify that the kit landing gear is not capable of supporting the finished model. I am curious what your experience is in that regard? Nice build by the way! Mark Proulx Edited March 16, 2022 by Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant build buy the way Pagey, knocks mine into a cocked hat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant build buy the way Pagey, knocks mine into a cocked hat!! Thanks. Mine is also still standing on its feet (taken over my work bench). Not sure where to put it when I need to use the bench again. I did have one of the struts break, but that was more to do with my clumsyness. I did have the white metal gear, but couldnt work with it. The plastic felt weirdly stronger when constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkin Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 That is a seriously impressive and inspiring build. I've got one in the stash but would have no idea how or where to display it when built. Is there a build thread anywhere by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
