Welcome Mike H from another Mike H back in Aus. Formerly Melbourne but Canberra for the past 20 years. I also have that kit but it is on the shelf waiting for me to finish a scratch build USN Essex cross section.  Enjoy the hobby and friends from this great group. 

So I suck at this also....but what I am learning is to make sure the surfaces are clean and slightly abraded then to use flux then small but blue flame.....it is beginning to work better for me......good luck...this is sometimes a frustrating hobby but also rewarding.........like coffee...sucks most of the time but when you get a good one it is great........not that I would know....I drink tea.....then beer...then a nice shiraz

Welcome, also from ‘down under’. Enjoy, expect some learning problems...enjoy solving them...

Big welcome from down under in Australia. I have visited England on many occasions, work and social, but never made it to your part of the world.  My daughter spent her honeymoon there last year and loved it. So post Covid I hope to get there.  All the best...please enjoy this site.
