Hello everyone - my name is James Hilton, I am the UK based designer that produced this model. We launched the kit on Saturday at the ExpoNG show in the UK and it was lovely to hear such positive feedback from visitors. I hope that you don't mind me signing up to your forum to help answer any questions directly, and let you see what is coming next! Please may I also apologise for using English, I am afraid I do not speak your language.
