Hi Mike,

This reply may be a bit late, but I can recommend the Interus kit. It's a bit fiddly, but it does have the bonus of l&l tracks.

Hi Max,

Does by chance a certain "Mr Murphy" & his law live close by you??? If he does could you very kindly shoot a very slow bullet out of a very fast gun at him!!! Lol

And to all the real Mr Murphies please excuse my sense of humour.

I just ordered the emhar kit, with model cellar tracks yesterday!!

All of which will be a lot more than the $37 Aussie this kit would have cost!! I am about to go & get 20 liters of milk and have a good cry!!! Lol

Thanks for the I info tho maybe help someone else who is looking to make one.

Now all I need to find is the airwaves etch.

Cheers Mike

Take it easy Mike "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" : The Interus kit was released in 2003, and you might have had a hard time finding it...

On a side note, it looks like the Interus tracks are off anyway :

Frenchy, I stand corrected. Looks like you dodged a bullet there Mike!

Good luck with the Emhar kit Mike, I myself have the Tadpole and every time I get the urge to build it, I open the box, look over the sprues, shudder and put it back in the pile

Hi Max,

Lol I know what you mean about the tadpole had one years ago & the back end was more bent than Graham Norton.

I hope you can make a better job of it then I didn't lol, got 80% made & then flew the coup to "file 13"
