I posted this on small talk a while back and bought the set from the UK

The decals have arrived and been applied, so it just needs stencils, a bit of weathering and the last kibbles 'n' bits, and we're done.

Just about - as mentioned over in the Blitzbau thread, I put my back out and that's put a bit of a spanner in the works - as well as it being half-term this week. However, I've offloaded bugalugs on my parents so should be able to put the finishing touches today.

I think that this thunderbolts on a Spit would scare the heck out of anyone trying to fight it :). Just like on mine Hurri :). Lovely build and idea!
