Hi Glyn

I have been offerred the Smit Rotterdam Kit for around £200, and am doing my usual research.    ;D

I have tracked your build letters throughout the Mayhem site and wondered what stage you were at now ?  Did you finish the model ?   How did you get on ?     Do you like the build ?    Do you know of any build blogs on the web   (in English)

It certainly looks the Biz, as they say.   Can you or any members shed any lights on this Tug please ?


Cheers...Ken
