Good stuff Andy.  It's all helping me make up my mind on what to do with this one. Something to think about whilst I continue with the never ending planking on the SOTS.

Hi all ok there I am sitting in the hospital with an 11:15 appointment just knowing that my D51 and Samurai packs would show up today, so I get home to find the inevitable card saying go forth to your nearest sorting office to collect your goodys and what time did they try to deliver 11:20 sods law isn't it rofl  . Anyway so its this months instalment, the making up and fitting of the spark arrester and the front deck. No real issue's with the spark arrester just make sure the joining ring is the correct way up and the glue area to the mesh can be iffy in parts but quite easy to overcome, I then sprayed the assembly with the weathered black and fitted it in place. The front deck again was quite straightforward just make sure the release levers are correctly placed I haven't sprayed this part yet as there are more parts to add here regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All As you know if you have read my diary so far I was using the Alclad Stainless steel paint on the running gear, well I kept at it but was never happy with the finish it just didn't look right to me so after several retry's of stripping back and restarting and looking at the how to vidio's messing with the pump preasure still no joy. Im not sure if Alclad can go off with age but perhaps this is what happened with the paint I had. So I decided to try the Alclad Steel paint instead and this worked out much better and im quite happy with the results Regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
