    good afternoon everyone
     
    the outside skin never went quite to plan, all my efforts to put it on straight resulted in well, it not going on straight,  i ended up with a rather odd looking twisted box. one end was ok. so i but line across and removed the other end, re applied and it is ok now,
    i never noticed it the time as there is a large off cut to allow for being off centre
    the walnut veneer is slowly going in, but its a pain, so fragile
     
    the photo's do me no favours at all

    the kit calls out for the yellow on the sides only not the top or bottom, i tried to match the yellow as best i could on the box art and phots, but they all vary,

    Thanks for the link Kevin, but no-one will ship it internationally - it’s ground transport only. To import it, I’d have to buy a container load! 🥴

    @chris watton much deserved success with the Sphinx venture. The standard of your previous kits proved without doubt your designs are cut above the others. The work undertaken by @James H in support aldo shows what is possible to build by mere mortals like me.

    By Looking at the Manual, this Kit should be rated at Advanced Beginner and not Intermiediate (might drive the Sales up even more :P)
    The amount of shortcuts implemented to ease the build seems enormous
