Although the V2's will still be on going as I source the kits required, I decided to have a go at this kit.
The name Thunder Models is new to me.
The kit has over 600 parts which on initial inspection seem to be well moulded.
I do have trouble searching for parts on the sprues - old age and failing eyesight I guess.
So now I put a large label on the sprues so that they are easier to see.
I have just built the engine, this is quite detailed and comprises over 40 parts, some of which are etched brass.
The etched brass supplied is ok, it is very coppery coloured though.
Here is their website
http://www.thundermodel.com/They seem to do a range of 1/35 models, I expected Takom to have produced this before them.
I have already built the IBG Scammel Recovery Tractor, its on page 3 of the modelling section.
