TBH its either build a model or have to endure bloody Emmerdale / EastEnders !

I find myself closing the door.. sitting down switching on my lights and relax.. unless you buy the revell F-1Camel piece of sh*te that lost me my mojo last week...

Its a nice thing to have but as I was watching I thought he has gone to the trouble of making spindles / wheels nuts and even the handbrake ratchet and then goes and puts slotted screws in the gearbox crossmember which looked out of place it would have looked better if he had silver soldered it in place , If you go into detail go the whole hog and loose those screws.

Apparently people born under Gemini star sign can be like that .... I walk into my sisters house and go around correcting her picture frames that not level !

Started this English Electric Lightning this week.. Some nice tooling but some fitment is way off.. it looks nice.. some great panel lines.







Im hoping to recreate this record breaking EE Lightning F.3 XR749 Which now lives at Peterhead Scotland

Mate whats going on at the front with those gaps ? That's bad , Meanwhile here as she has nothing to do my daughter is now in the process of building the black Plymouth model but is doing it bog standard ….. I did try to sneak some bigger tyres onto the wheels when she wasn't working on it but she sussed me out.
Bad thing is I have no metallic purple paint left and the place I normally get it from is in lockdown mode.

Good luck with the new one Lez.
