This is really building up into something good, KP. Is that impressive looking liner in the background the Titanic?

Hi all well I'm not sure I will actually do this but I've added some blue leds for the emergency lights, maybe I will and maybe I won't we will just have to see how complex it gets.

Working emergency lights would look good on this, KP.

Hi all well it has working emergency lights.

I've glued aluminium foil behind the headlight holes to help them look more like headlights.

Your're not kidding, KP, the modeller certainly does get a lot of kit for the money! This is going to look very impressive when it's finished!

Hi all near the end now, loads of decals to add but the basic kit is nearly done. This really is a lot of kit for the money and I have had so many ideas for different versions of this so this won't be my last build of this or the London bus (another incredible kit)

Hi all nearing the end now (loads of decals to add and a small amount of painting to do) I've really enjoyed this kit not found a bad fitting part on it, although it is quite complex and some parts need a few trial fits till you figure out how they actually go together.

It certainly does look to be a great kit, KP and I've really enjoyed watching your efforts with it.
