The box was placed on the bench last night and after a morning's work we have this.
I may have gotten myself into very deep water.....
15 bags 30 sprues not including all the extra fiddly bits.
Whats in the box
Instructions...
Parts unbaged, cataloged and labeled.
And step one of thirty.
Plus a 3 color/colour NATO paint guide that I forgot to take a picture of.
Gentlemen, it's safe to say,I have some concerns......

The outlook will be bleak until the last part is stuck.

Paul. There's a reason why I hadn't planned on doing the first 2 GB's
Duke, gotta stretch the the old modeling muscles once in a while.
So,got the frame rails cut off and cleaned up. Pic in the next post. I've started some sub assembles, Cross members at this point.
Doesn't look like much but the stuff is pretty fiddly.
Which brings my to my first complaint. although the parts are well detailed and have good attachment points, those points are where the waste gates are. Makes it hard to cut them off the sprue without damage.
That's it for now.
