Here's my first pics I have dismantled the first third and rebuilt and reset the bulkheads so they are as straight as I can get them.
And the scale is 1\250.
An a bit info on the magazines first came out in 2000 and there would have been 100 issues the kit is made by amati and you can still get the stand alone kit and the original cost would have been £493.
