Shamrock Posted June 3, 2020 Share #32 Posted June 3, 2020 10 hours ago, kpnuts said: Next update working on the rear wheel this is what pocher would have you use. So for the horrendously expensive price of £7.50(including postage)I got these. Money well spent, the eagle eyed among you will notice I even put the yellow paint on the allen bolts to show if they have loosened. They would even have you attach the rear sprocket with Phillip's screws. Hi, I recently bought this kit together with the detail-up set of screws, but as I understand from this post is that the abovementioned screws are not included? So where did you find them? Great personal detail-up, I will certainly steal ideas from you!! //S popeye the sailor, Kevin, Egilman and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share #40 Posted June 11, 2020 My honest opinion of the kit is it is way over priced, that said it is the only one in this huge scale and does allow for a lot of detailing. I may have said it once or twice but they really did a lot of penny pinching on this kit, for another tenner it could be an amazing kit. lmagna, Egilman, Old Collingwood and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
