Life-Like Coaling Tower 1377

HI,

I'm probably going to buy one of these soon and I wonder how many of you have one and would you share a photo of it?  I'd like to see its installation, painting and weathering, detailing.

Thanks in advance,

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

I think this  is the correct model. I have built about 20 of these and add a lot of detailing to them before selling them on Ebay. It is a relatively easy kit but needs a lot of extras to make a good model. Hope this helps.

This is my version with the 'stock' chute or slide.

I built one of those years ago.

Unfortunatly no picture.

No matter what you don't do you must at least give it a basic paint job to make it presentable.

That applies to all plastic kits and its a good idea to paint before assembly so you don't end up with bits you cannot get at.

regards John
