Hi all some of you may know I sold a couple of my ships builds so I had 400 quid burning a hole in my pocket, so I've ordered this and Roy fitszimmonds cd to build it with, my plan (as I'm sure by now you all know I don't build normal builds) is to have it languishing in an old barn or in a garden or yard with maybe a tree growing out of it.

Hi all well it arrived today and it is mahoosive that is a 1/12 kit box on top of it just to give you an idea of its size these are the sprues there are 3 or 4 sprues to each bag just for comparison (the rule devides the too model kits) the camaro has 1 sprue to each bag apart from the black sprues and that has 2 sprues one tip I've already learned do not take the sprues out of the box as you wont get the all back in and shut the lid (unless you have a degree in astrophysics) that is, this is one case where the box is not big enough.

Great value for money 130 quid and for parts it would rival a pocher kit ( admittedly its not got any metal or machined parts.

That is both kits? I am surprised that the Citroen is so much bigger.

For sure. The Citroen is 1/8th scale and the camaro is 1/12. Pretty big difference. I think it would take up half of my bench.

Hi I've been given a superb idea for this, I am going to have it in a barn being readied for a mission by the French resistance with the cross of lorraine and a tricolour on it, the possibilities are endless, need to find some 1/8 figures and things like bren guns or make them from scratch I've been doing some research and this was available in blue irise (which is apparently a course metallic where the flakes aluminum were bigger than modern colours) if I can find I will do it that colour or ac615 blue marine which it was also available in, since I'm on hols from Monday I won't be starting it for a while (lots of other stuff to finish first) but (assuming I can get internet) being on hols will give me lots of time for research.

I tell you mate its the best kit I've ever built, I built Tamiyas 1/12 Honda CR450R with rider and dio in one weekend, I've been a fortnight on this and still not finished the engine. This kit is so detailed every wire and pipe or cable is included in the engine bay.

Are you assembling a real car? Those parts are cast so well and your painting skills are amazing. You are painting plastic, aren't you?

WOW!! That engine detail is incredible mate, if you took the pics outside with a farm or workshop back ground, i think we would find it near impossible to say it was a model.
