Thanks Braith,
A return to Perth is indeed possible.
Your bonus box selection is considerably different from Jonathan's 3314.
Different and interesting enough to warrant another 'roll of the dice' to buy
more IMHO.
Having seen the panel van in person, I consider it worthy of its own MOC post
(rather than being buried in the bonus tub thread). There are a few notable
details such as the headrests and the new dark grey front grille (an
appropriate, elegant use of the controversial colour). I really liked the
steering mechanism too.
I encourage you to toot your own horn. I also look forward to seeing the red one
completed.
Peace and cheers,
Ley, aka Professor Whateverly
