Sounds like a lot of work to me frankie, but I'll be watching with intent to possibly do one myself later on ( I guess the kits are discontinued). You cant beat a Firefly; its an Allied Icon. 8)

It's not too bad, id have preferred to use the resin kit, which I think there's a few still available, but it's not for me and the new owner didn't want a resin hull...
