    yeah mym8,apart from three 1/72 panthers for the back decks and one 1/76 panther for the front landin leg.everything else is built from styrene and plastic pens and kids lollypop sticks,if its in the house and it looks like i can use it then it gets put in.the last one was a kids medicine measuring spoon as you can see.....cheers for the feed back.....peza

    The pens were "broken" right?

    How long have you been building this? Nice stuff.

    Sounds like a good plan. Im sure youll find electric parts that can do that when the time comes.

    I think this build is very nice and I hope its ok if I repost some pics from your album:







    Keep the updates coming.
