Yeah. It is an older release (not the red box) so I will email Airfix about it. Kit was still in shrinkwrap.

That's a good blitz fodder kit.

That is a good little kit, I've built a few. Looks fine oob except you need to slightly alter the wheel back plate on the ends of the axles you need to file the top of the plate down and then radius them to match the original curve because as it comes the Landy sits too low. Hope this helps.

All the best.

With two GBs to start over the weekend I will cancel this build until next time. I have already made three kits so I have at least taken part.

I think you've done more than just take David!! Three blitzes in one session is well above and beyond!
Best wishes

No worries David. I have three on the move right now with some work related road trips getting in the way. Deadlines, deadlines. :ha:
