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.

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...

...she's going to be 3/4 County of London Yeomanry, but I'm not going to be doing the markings..she's being shipped off to Aus more or less as is, so her new owner can finish her off
