Great work Ralph , those wheels look like they are a real pain in the ... but youve nailed them (literally !) thanks to an extra pair of hands from paula ( I really must get myself an assistant - i wonder if i could persuade my missus to clean out the airbrush when ive done spraying , hold parts together while the glue goes off , tidy up for me , put on decal stencils etc. you know , all the crappy jobs !!LOL ) cheers tony

Thanks Tony.


They were a pain,still some work to do on them.


She is good to me Paula will help with anything.

That carriage looks very well detailed Ralph ( is that a PE set with the brackets at the rear?


Does this set also come with the limber? Think that's would be an added bonus for display IMHO


Kind regards

There is no PE with this kit.Mainly resin with plastic and wire.Although I have broke a part today,so had to remake it in brass sheet.


There is no limber either,but I agree it would look good.
