Hi Brian,
Thanks, just need to double check the build instructions to make sure I haven't missed anything critical.

Hi John,
Many thanks, it was a slow build for a number of reasons, but the 6pdr got washed this evening so hopefully it will be a reasonable quick build.
Thanks for you support and help during the build.

Looking good Alan! Nice weathering and figure placement, like what you've done with it. The 6 pounder looks perfect behind it.
Thanks for sharing your work! Cheers -

Hi Calvin,
Many thanks. Can't say about the price, with the exchange rate here being very poor at the moment, the kits are actually more expensive than normal. You would need to check the exchange rate State side.
I don't know if it would be cheaper for you to buy direct from Resicast or from a supplier in the US. You shouldn't have to pay the EU VAT so that might help off set the cost of shipping but you also need to consider the customs duty your end if there is any.
The carriers are a lot of fun. Thanks again.
Cheers
Al
