Each kit includes a one-piece cast resin body which enables full
detail to be included, yet assembly is very straightforward using
only hand tools. A soldering iron is recommended, but not essential.
Each kit has been fully researched and made using official works
drawings and several photographs. A comprehensive set of instructions
is included. Underframe detail includes brake gear (working in some
cases) and bolt detail etc.
