Thanks for the kind comments Gary, Barry & Tom
@barryf1fan I’d been wondering why you hadn’t commented, I thought you’d forgotten about me hahaha
I’ve had to put a hold on the build as I’m waiting for the CF decals and some more Lark pink paint to arrive, I’ve cracked open my Italeri Australian truck to plod away on until the goodies arrive.
I’ll try and put up a post of the truck when I get a chance

Thankyou my friend, unfortunately I ran into some trouble (body snapped in half) so packed it away to the shelf of doom.
This is my first post in a long time, I lost my mojo and took a long hiatus, hopefully will get something new posted soon.

I hope you get back to it soon man!! I also have been out of it for awhile now... we moved back in the summer and wife took the job and moved about 2 months before me. Left me to pack up the (2700 sf) house and move us 17 hours across the US.

With Covid, everything takes 5 times longer than it should. LOL!!
Hopefully you'll be back at it soon, and posting updates!!

Long time fellas! Gutted to hear about the misfortune on this one, I did start mine, very briefly, and then it got put away and I started something else and I've never been back to it.....until now! Once my current build is complete, I'm going to get this back on the bench and finish it off.

Hey Gary, it’s been a while!
Glad to hear you’ve started on it again, I actually pulled it out last week, stripped the paint and fixed up the break in the body. I’m going to restart it once I’ve finished my current builds (Tamiya 1/12 Porsche 935 & Tamiya 1/24 Mercedes C9).
Please keep us updated with the build

Nice one, good to hear you're going to get it finished.
I've got my Tamiya Mercedes AMG GT3 to finish off first and then I'm getting on it.
