Vera the V1

[david.hill64]

With Malcolm simmering on Haymarket shed, it's time to start the next of David Allan's fleet. This is a V1 form the DJH/Piercy range. It comes in the sturdy DJH box.

 

 

The etches are crisp and the castings good quality.

 

 

 

 

I started by forming the coupling rods - 13 pieces per side - and whilst I was at it did the con rods.

 

 

 

The instructions are interesting. Photos of completed sub assemblies with minimal words. We'll see how good that is as we go. They do include photos of the individual parts - I always like that - but no complete parts list.

 

I have cut out the frames and embossed the rivets on the frame overlays. Photos to follow.

 

Looking forward to this but I have a trip to Japan starting tomorrow so progress will be a bit slow.
