This kit is teasing me to the end, the yellow and silver have sorted themselves out and now look OK so I will add the decals to see if its worth continuing.

Well, you've got this far! Seems a shame to not finish it, after all the grief it's given you.

Seriously, Splash, I'm glad you persevered, 'cos it's looking good.

Yay! I like the markings on this one so will be good to see her make it across the finish line.

Finally finished, this is one kit that should be removed from every shop and destroyed.

Do not give this kit to a beginner it will put them off for life, it is a real enthusiasts kit, my LMS has them in stock reduced to £3 and they can't shift them.
