Toby's Stosser. ABORTED!

This is a GB for Heller kits and derivatives thereof - any kit, any scale, any variant, any markings. However, not everyone is allowed to build HMS Victory, so get your bids in early. Runs 12 September through 11 October and your host is TobyC.

Too bad but IMHO when they get to be such a misery to work on, you did the right thing.

Sad to see a kit go in the bin. It definitely is a headache of a kit though. I very nearly gave up on mine after problems with the wing struts.

They did a complete hounds breakfast of the MK1 Spitfire too to be honest.

Shame about the stosser. It's a great looking aircraft. I have one in th stash I am considering attempting some time fairly soon.

All the best.
