I know, it was just a gentle leg pull. :blow-kiss:

Incidentally, I tried my darndest to get the King Tiger starter set, but neither of the Aldi stores around here had it.

not sure how quick the progress will be as im still trying to make some headway with the Honda....be glad to get back to work and get back into a routine lol

heres the contents of the box

 

[Lee Drennen]

Nice detail Paul and a low parts count build should go fast so you can pay more attention to detailing

 

[Mini Me]

Paul, are you using the vinyl tracks or will you be adding after market links?
Cheers, Rick H.

Cheers, Rick H.

do they even do after market tracks in braille scale???????

and i shall be using whats in the box anyway

 

[Mini Me]

They do in 1/87. I assumed That PE track would be available in 1/72 or 76 scale. Sorry for the confusion.
