Well this has finally hit the bench First impressions a box full of poo, massive attachment points, loads of flash and a shed load of rubbing down, that was just the engine However I'm been given a mission and complete it I will ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZNBrCm5/spit-002.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/QnNs444/spit-003.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/KjS2dBt/Spit-001.jpg)

Loads of time cleaning up ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Got to let bits dry solid before moving on as you have to use a bit force getting the parts in to place ![](https://i.ibb.co/k6SnTLT/spit-005.jpg) Size comparison again ![](https://i.ibb.co/p0ybqYy/spit-006.jpg)

If I do another one it won't be as old as this one that's for sure. I was given it to build on a Facebook page, Dick would have a whale of a time with it I got these and was disappointed that they look yellow in the pic but are not ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/wQXpj80/ED23005.jpg)
