I think they’ve missed part of the instructions, the jump from E to F is massive.

Hi Ian,
I think they have the pictures in step F, going from right to left.
it looks like it shows you how to assembly one side panel, in the right hand picture in step F….then in the left hand picture in step F it shows the whole thing rotated with the other side panel already fitted and it points out the parts needed.

Hope this makes sense :upside:

Yes your right Si, it just looks like a giant leap forward. I’m on it now.

Its no wonder I gave up on these kits. That plastic looks evil as well, was it very soft Ian ?

Yes John

 

[Mini Me]

Evil plastic!!.....call Matron!:tongue-out3::tongue-out2: Nah JR, just a little vexing at times. I think Ian has a pretty good handle on things.

Looks like a lot of work but it will be worth it to produce a great model.

Andy.

 

[papa 695]

Got most of stage F done. The bell, ladders and light will get done at a later date.

Moving along with this one,

 

[David Lovell]

Stick with it Ian the results are really beginning to reward your endeavours keep it coming. Good stuff. Dave

 

[adt70hk]

Ian,

Completely missed the start of this. That is coming nicely.

I have an ACE Centurion in the stash but have not started it yet.

Keep up the good work.

Andrew

 

[papa 695]

Main coat on, still plenty to do

 

[yak face]

Looking great ian , those instructions look mental though !

 

[scottie3158]

Ian,
Nice looking progress.

 

[adt70hk]

Now that's RED!

 

[Guest]

Now that's read!

Red or rad?

It’s funny how a model suddenly starts feeling much more like the real thing once it’s got a coat of paint on, though.

Corrected!

 

[Geoffers]

Good stuff :thumb2:

Starting to look like a Fire Engine now.

[Jim R]

Well Ian this has come on well. Despite the issues it is looking good and as Jakko says it looks the part with it's coat of red.
