Jason MarsonJust watched a review of this kit on YouTube and at this time I'm no longer interested in this kit. The reason why? The front windscreens with wipers moulded in! That is so poor and cheap from Airfix, especially at this scale. It’s like something from the 1970s! Until a third party releases new moulds of the windscreens with separate wipers I'm no longer interested! I’m really disappointed by this. Airfix, what gives?!

Alex BeebeeI think there will be suitable aftermarket quite soon to deal with the screen wipers and the exhaust screen / light guards quite soon... so will be getting one in any case and building it as far as I can and then wait and see what comes out...
As a kid the Matchbox Stalwart 61b (White BP Exploration) was one of my fave toys so just can't pass it up....
Might even buy a second and try and build the BP Exploration one even though it was a fictional company lol...

Jason Marson AuthorYeah, I had my little vent, but I'm the same really. I'll get one and wait for after market upgrades. It can be nice to have a little moan sometimes. lol
