Hi Lee, welcome to the forum. You're a brave man wanting to try this model as your first attempt at an etched kit, it's fairly complex to assemble because of the overlays on the van side. I'm happy to put you on the list but you would be better off trying a kit aimed at the less experienced modeller first. Have a look at the Palbrick B by clicking the link in my signature below, this kit was specifically designed for the less experienced modeller but makes up into a nice model.

Thanks Ian. Im probably coming over a bit overconfident, but hopefully i'll get a kit and/or some coach sides for my birthday soon that i can gain some experience with first... no harm in sitting on the BG till im confident enough though. i mostly play with classic cars during the week, so i hope some of those skills will transfer over to some degree... im expecting to have to make myself some tooling and jigs for the more complex builds too.

Cheers, Lee

Hi, id be interested in one of these etches too... this isolation period has got me back into modelling again. ive only ever modified locos from mr King's resin kits but looking to venture into modifying coaches and building complete kits... i know it wont be easy but ill try anything once! hehe

Cheers, Lee
