I admit I am going to buy this. I would have liked full working valve gear and feel misled with the publicity and claims. However, if KR Models had been honest and declared at the start that it was impractical for them to produce fully working valve gear and would be producing a simplified version, I would have bought one. That being the case, I am still going to buy one.
However, once all my pre funded orders are in, anything else I fancy from KR Models will wait until they are available and reviews made. If that means I have to wait for a second rum run, so be it.
