4mph is probably about right.

It is much better than any of the other kits I have come across so far.

The tracks look a little daunting!
I may take the easy option as I am not sure that I want working tracks.
It will be bad enough assembling all those wheels and getting them into position.
That will be 92 for each side.

How old do you think I am?
On second thoughts don't answer that.

You even get a German photographer.
Some bits of etched brass on the camera as well.

Well aligning the wheels and fitting the sides took a bit of fiddling but I eventually got there.

Looking very impressive, pleased to see the clamps are some use, will all this be covered up when the model is complete?

Unfortunately it will.
I have decided to take the easy option and have non-working tracks.

Hi Zak,

Chickened out did you, or did common sense prevail??

Machine gun sponsons.
4 of these to construct, not as small as Haddocks bits but still quite a challenge for me.
(Can I say his bits are small? - too late now)

Hi Zak,

I understand his 'small bits' are perfectly formed, well that's what Mrs Haddock says..............
