that is a pretty cool design........I'm sure Adrieke gave you a few pointers :)    I want to try it on one of my builds........perhaps on one of my scratch builds  ;)  your thoughts are in the fore front of all who build.....can't wait to see it finished.   take your time and savor the ride,  it's the optimum bang for the buck  :)   your doing a fine job so far  ;)

 

a kit sits on a shelf....however long.......before someone buys it.   it may have been produced last year.   the box is not humidity proof.....I don't believe I've built one yet,  that didn't have a warped part or two...plastic kits included ;)

np spencer  its is just when make the kit it will sit on the self for a long time till it sells  and the warm weather and cold weather after a long time can warp a lot its just how it is all the models that i have done over the years got  some sort of warp to them  thats modeling  thats what make it fun for me

hello Dragzz

 

it looks good but it is actually not a window but a vent . the 2 big steam stacks will be right on the inside of them

Your doing great there dragzz. Keep up the great work. I have built this kit as well and I'm afraid Adrieke is correct about the window/ vent. If it was a window it would look good though. Nice job :)
