Surely not. In 7mm, you need separate stiles and wire rungs
Not on this budget!
Yesterday was a modelling washout, partly due to consecutive nights lacking kippage and partly due to domestic life. So, today, with renewed vigour, I set to.
There's probably some coda buried in the Modeller's Licence that explains that if something can go wrong it will go wrong. We all know, deep down, that cast whitemetal pipework is bad joo-joo, and obviously as soon as you try to make it fit into etched holes it will break.
None of the pipes really fitted where they were supposed to, being either slightly too long or bending in just the wrong place, so having broken both main feed pipes I substituted some convenient thick copper wire. Things still aren't quite there.
I will attempt to beef up the access ladder this afternoon, but might limit myself to the vertical sides and handrails.
The outer supports still need to be fitted. I think the plan ought to be to hold the tank in place with tape and carefully locate each part, either tacking with a dab of the iron or a dribble of cyano. The jury is out, but I'd like to get some primer on things before too long.
Now, the fuel delivery end of things took a turn for the awkward when I described the provided kit to the client! He wants something a little different to the shelter that comes in the kit, but we will get to that in due course…
