The box art on for the Defiant is worth the price tag alone- just brilliant.

Nice haul Paul, I've built the Bentley it was a great kit to put together.

I love the soviet Gaz Paul.
You can paint it as on the art box or invent a commercial one, working on an obscure alley in London..... :surprised::surprised::surprised:

I've got the same kit of the Dora and I also bought the same set of curved tracks for the same reason as you did Jens but -

I expect you've already thought of this, but won't the radius of one of the track sets need to be changed?

I Just started looking at the track sections now and it looks like the pieces have a different radius depending on part number - which means that with clever mixing we might get it to work as a double track bend?!

As long as the chassis sit properly on the track it doesn't matter if it's not 100% perfect because it's never going to move on the diorama anyway, but it looks promising now that I've seen that the track pieces have an increasing radius!
Have you had a look at yours Dave?

I've opened the box but not looked in detail. From what you're saying it looks like a solution is possible without having to alter anything.

about all you could try is cotton wool,or maybe green stuff for the flames and cotton wool for the smoke

Thanks Monica, but excuse my ignorance, what is 'Green Stuff, I don't know if we have that here in the UK?

[Guest]

I'm looking at for one of those, but the prices vary so much already.

And I've just been to Banbury in Oxfordshire where Trinders model shop has been as long as I've known and it's shut and gone!! The only model shop in a 40+ mile radius! So the internet now is my only option!

Yes, they were closing down when I went there a few weeks ago, and had very little stock. Where do you live? There's Joto Hobbies in Rugby, and The Model Shop in Northampton.
