Finally finished. I have to report that this one nearly got slung in the Esk a few times. I started with the Heller (Italeri) Superliner kit and added the Auslowe Valueliner conversion to it. It didn't fit. The bonnet didn't fit the cab, the nice etch parts didn't fit the apertures for them even after I had cut away as much as I dared. The headlamp inserts even after being sanded almost in half still stood proud of the bonnet so the etch on top didn't lie flat. In the end I literally attacked it with epoxy and bolted it together while it set. I chose the Eastoes livery cos I'd seen it on an Aussie forum and liked it but I haven't done justice to it Still needs susies and number plates but I might not bother

Hi,
Its a real pain when things are a struggle to get together but you've stuck with it and ended up with decent model for which you are to be congratulated!
Cheers,
