The casting needed some filling and fettling, but actually went together quite well. After finding the most useful assembly aids were the jigs provided, I then came to the undercart which had no jig. This was tricky to say the least, and took a lot of time before I was satisfied.
Nevertheless, I am now embarked on plane no 2. but do not envisage doing many of them. The only reason for not waiting eor W.O.W. was that they are not on the next two releases, and at my Age I would like to get some use out of them whilst I still can.
To conclude, I found it a worthwhile experience, but would not have taken it on without some of the specialist modeling tools which I possess. A small drill, saw, and needle files being very useful.
Rob.
