Gary, Another really excellent in depth pre-build box review. I'm looking forward to following your build to it's conclusion. I've seen several builds of this kit from super, and I mean super detailed, to OOB museum quality. It's a fantastic kit that surely will be a joy for you to build and share with us. Joel

Nudging 40 Celcius here, so the "joy to watch" applies at both ends of the temperature scale ! Excellent work, what a great format to review kits. It really does add another dimension to add to the enjoyment. I can almost smell that "fresh out of the box" styrene that we all crave. Cheers, D

Gary, I love your review and I totally agree that after market items are probably not necessary, apart form Paint masks. So if you would like some paint masks for this just give me a shout I have the kit and I'm planning on doing "Big Hog" mainly because of the S&B with red surround and the "Big Hog" script But I can do almost any scheme that you desire

Hi there At the risk of being a lone voice in the wilderness (and this is me talking as an (almost) ex-video editor who totally admires Gary's presentation style!), I have to admit I gave up when I saw the duration. I can't spend half nearly an hour just watching a first take on a kit. As much as I love the idea of video reviews - they are long. I'm certainly no Luddite and, much as I love new technology, it's just so much quicker to read than listen... All the best Rowan
