I bought this model on eBay intending it to be my first RC to share with my grandchildren.
Unfortunately it was an old kit and I realised some bits were missing and also that the accessory kits are no longer available.
Confidence knocked a bit but undeterred I decided to be content with a static model.
And so here it is.
I did buy some accessories from model outlets. Some bits Ive had to improvise.
The exhaust pipe for example is made from a the outer casing of a Parker pen. The top half is actually the ink cartridge.
The wheel house lights are made from clear plastic tub, painted on the inside green and red, and capped off with a drawing pin.
The capstans are cut from the dolly pegs in my wife's washing basket and painted silver.
Any other improvisations, I'd love to hear about. Ive realised since joining the forum that there are some first class engineers out there.
Please pardon my clumsiness when it comes to the rigging :-/
