PvG Aussie Posted April 14, 2024 #1 Posted April 14, 2024 At long last I have finished this model. After all the cutting, grinding and reshaping I have finally managed to put the pieces of this jigsaw together (approx 150 hours). I would NOT recommend this kit to anyone unless you are good with metals as many of the pieces simply don't fit and you have to settle for second rate joins or try and modify the diecast and PE pieces. Looking at the images, it has come up reasonably good as it is difficult to see the problem sections!

Landlubber Mike Posted April 22, 2024 #2 Posted April 22, 2024 Wow, that came out great Peter! I saw your other thread and thought you had placed this one on the shelf of doom, but then saw this one and was very impressed! Fantastic job!

PvG Aussie Posted April 23, 2024 Author #3 Posted April 23, 2024 Thanks Mike. I fully appreciate encouraging words from my modelling peers. I l don't have a 'shelf of doom' because I refuse to give up on models that cost more than they are worth!
