Andych, I can't manage to post photographs on the forum however, if you would like to send me your e-mail address then I will happily take a couple of pictures and send them over to you. If you decide to do that, you are more than welcome to put them on the forum if you are able!

The finished model is, as you say quite large - I have just measured it at 27cm in length.

Andych:
PM sent :)

Andych, pm received and now just awaiting the camera battery to charge for pictures. I took a couple on the Smartphone, however quality poor even by my standards, so I'll not bother to send those!

Just into daylight here (around 30 minutes ago) and raining outside, 3c. Whilst I wouldn't want your 40C+ having spent a very hot summer in Japan this year, a little better than this would be welcome.

Me too. I also did one that was a moving cutaway 750sohc engine, but don't remember the maker. It even had flashing spark plugs.

I used to build loads of Airfix kits, mostly aircraft, when I was a kid and got quite good at modifying them into different variants etc.
So when I found an un-built Airfix railway loco in the loft a couple of months ago, I thought I'd build it to try an rekindle my early days.
Big mistake. I've nearly finished it and it looks like the work of a 4 year old. Glue smudges, wonky bits, hairs and dust in the paint.
The trouble is that at the age of 64, the eyesight has deteriorated, despite glasses, and the feeling in the finger tips is much reduced making handling small parts very difficult.
However, I was thinking of putting this together but with a little more care and because its a much bigger scale (1:12) so the parts are bigger:

This is from Hiroboy, but out of stock at the moment, but have my name down for one.
This is a also an attempt at rekindling my youth as a B-reg C100 was my first Bike (in 1968) and the first of what became a succession of bigger and bigger Hondas.
Best regards,
Phil
