What a blast...I have gotten more enjoyment of kit bilding now than I ever seem to remember as a kid (though in truth, I'm still a big kid!). Thank you!

And yes, I will join the Dark Side wholeheartedly!

And then you went straight into one of the most challenging types of kit available. A biplane with lozenge camouflage and multiple struts...it's like a guy finishing a marathon asking if he can manage to walk to the corner shop for milk.

Wiseguy!

Well actually my dear Holmes, there was a little model inbetween the Panther and the Gotha...the Aircraft Carrier USS America, on the same build as the Gotha here on the Zone. Lots and lots of tiny parts, and a very old kit with tough fit problems...so, there was perhaps a tad middle ground in there. And, I'm lactose intolerant, so make that orangejuice

PS...congrats on the Silver Bar mate!

Same to you mate...I hadn't seen that until you pointed it out.
Mate...rude of me to forget the USS America...apologies to you. I still say you can make something good out of a Dragon kit though...

No prob mate! Oh, and I plan on the Dragon very soon...I might start it after the Gotha's done.
