Roaring Forties 118
having been one of the lucky ones and getting my SA RF40 delivered minus a bin load of parts it now nears completion and has just returned from paint to undergo final assembly (with still a few parts to find )
not wishing to rub salt in the wounds of those who recieved nothing i have waited a while before starting a build diary
Here is the first of several photos
