landman Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Well, the body has arrived, the kit is on one shelf and the Holmes 750 I built earlier is on another shelf. Time for them to come together. Edited December 29, 2022 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 The '56 Ford is on hold, so I started pecking at this one. Working on the engine. It is awkward since the numbers on the instruction sheet don't match the numbers on the sprues.
