my challenging Xmas build
by corelki2005 » Wed Dec 02, 2015 3:52 pm
After getting the OK from the powers that be, here is my entry
Its a 1990 kit so probably will have fit problems and maybe a lot of filler may be required.
hopefully I will finish this in time!
on to the parts
I do have to major problems to start with:-
1 the instructions are in German only, no English at all on packaging or inside.
2 no painting guide

So looking forward to this build.
Instructions are for wimps anyway and I believe you can get 'Portland' filler by Blue Circle in bulk
On the bright side, there is no painting guide to misdirect you. What would we do without Google
Good luck Nick !

I have managed to fill the gap somewhat, doesn't have to be perfect as it is hidden inside the next bit

Well done in filing that large gap, I hope that you got plenty of filler left over for the remainder of the build
