That's it folks.  I almost tossed this 4 years ago, but it turned out pretty decent.

Thanks for looking and your comments.

Good luck with Gotha, I made it, but in 1:72 scale.

Thanks Pepperman43; no tossing the Gotha, so far so good.

@ Bob's Buckles:  Thanks Bob, in going over the instructions and the rigging I may need to double the order!  :-\

@ Adam:  It's going to be a challenge, but no more than the SE5.

Congratulations on your perseverance in completing this model Mark. Well done all around! It makes me want to pull my kit out of the pile and get at it.

Cheers,

Chris

Gotta echo all the above, I remember the pain and frustration you went through so well before. Really good to see this finally finished Mark. Nice one mate.

Far, far better than simply decent, from my perspective, Mark.  I'm so glad you salvaged this one.  She's a show stopper.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks Des, Bud, Chris and Keith:

I think these early WNW releases are now overlooked with the releases of ever newer kits.  It is a good kit, has it's challenges.  I think if WNW redid the instructions it would be more popular.  By altering the sequence of assembly a tad it is far less challenging than following the WNW instructions.
Thanks again folks, it was a much more enjoyable build the second time around.
