Sad to hear that Syd as it was looking very nice but I understand your frustration. I was shocked at the prices I've seen on-line for this kit when you look at Scalemates and see the provenance and age of the actual moulds. Can't help thinking that in a Revell rather than an Italeri box it would have been £20 - £25 cheaper. I hope it isn't too long before you resurrect it and wheelie it over the finish line. Looking forward to whatever you build and show us next mate.
Cheers
Al.

It's the same with all the ex-Protar kits I'm afraid. It appears that their rarity keeps them expensive.

Sorry to hear that you're shelving this one Syd. Despite the issues you were making great progress with it.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!
