    Terrible isn't it, the way kits hide away in cupboards... Pete

    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    Hull looks good Bob. The colours are plausible even if they're not 100% correct. Pete

    HELP

    I think Ron advised gluing a small piece of abrasive paper inside the tips of his tweezers to give a better grip. Pete

    Rembering Ron.

    Well, Ron did like railway locos didn't he, so I've started this in his honour. If anyone feels it's inappropriate I don't mind if it's moved. No glue or paint needed, so I might actually finish it in a reasonable time. After the first afternoon's work I had this: which looks like good...

    1/1 paintwork

    Well, at long last it's finished. I didn't enjoy this build much - I have another identical kit that I'd be happy to sell. Here's one photo; I'll put up a Finished thread later. Pete All comments welcome.
