You are too kind gents. Cheques are in the post. I enjoy making the kits. Not a lot cheaper than buying RTR versions if they exist, but very rewarding.

I haven’t got the nerve for that Barry or the tools. Buying the kit is usually just the tip of the iceberg. Often says wheels, gearbox, motor not included. I have read things like 'after a week of rolling the boiler I finally got it to the correct profile', and 'the supplied hornblocks didn’t fit well so I had to adjust them on the milling machine'. Much prefer glue A to B then add C. :)

Thanks Terry. Going to pick out a few planks with primer so it looks like they have been replaced but not yet painted.
