Yes this is the current month’s model. No it probably won’t get finished but I’ll get stuck in anyway.

It’s the Trumpeter missiles in a shipping container kit.

This kit comes with one missile to display whereas the 40 foot container has no missiles so isn’t interesting to me. The missiles tunes certainly have plenty of mould pins to clean up!

The instructions are a little confusing so be careful or maybe that’s just the Covid speaking.

It’s got plenty of decals and a small etched brass fret so nothing too complicated at least. It comes in at over 220 parts so there is plenty to do.

The only difficulty so far has been getting the %^$## cabin to go together- three straight pieces with edge contact only has made this a fun exercise. After a few attempts it is now secured. I need to fit out the cabin and then onto the joy of the undercarriage/ sorry I meant tracks but I need to watch a video on how this is done as they really do dangle a bit off the main body.

I forgot to include the winner of the Miscellaneous section, you’ll know it when you see it as it is truly unusual.

I wasn’t the only person who thought so either going by the two guys nearby.
