Of the "new" VC, that has my eye and probably my wallet ... thanks for showing yours :)

Well, still "pre-order" here in the colonies :), history shows it'll be a long wait ...

So, I'm going to use this as my test case and order direct from Airfix, ignoring Hornby US completely.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Arguably, one of your best ships in your fleet, Richard.

Ratch,
that has inspired me to consider building that model. I can probably get some additional details from seaman Jim, unless his memory fails???

Cheeky! ;-)
I meant of building it back when I was a lad :-D
I must admit I'm tempted to have another go!
