iceman so far the kit has slipped together quite well no major dramas, and as paul said the cowl is a poor fit with the engine in place, i have had to grind out the inside of the cowl just in front of the dash but have got it sitting quite nice now , not perfect but its in place pity really, my only gripe but otherwise its an excellent kit

This thing looks an absolute beauty. Cab you just confirm its 1/32? I cant find a scale reference in the thread.

Regardless of scale its a classy piece of work!
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:
