Howard and Derk,
Thanks very much for your replies. Derk, your photos will help quite a bit as and when I start the model build. I note that the thread was posted several years ago. How far have you got with your restoration? If completed, are there any photos on MLU for review? It's one thing to build a 1/35th sale model and quite another to see a completed 1:1 restoration.
If complete, congratulations. If not yet, best of luck!
