Thanks for your interest. I'll let you know how I get on, though I have to admit progress is slow. And I haven't even started on the fiddly etched bits!

Ooerr! Sounds nasty. The said red monofilament is also supposed to be used to retain (?) the battery boxes. I suspected .5mm wire would probably work, but thanks for confirming. They supply three lengths of wire, more than enough.

I may be a bit late coming to this! However, I share the predilection for Parcels traffic, and requested a few relevant kits for Christmas. Just starting this one. I agree it seems over-complicated - I am dreading fitting the etched door handles. However, undaunted, I am looking for this red monofilament. No sign of it! I suspect the conversion to Parkside. What diameter is it supposed to be? Many thanks for sharing your experience.
