Just received mine from 1st Corps (all three ) and have to say they are VERY nice models. They are a bit big but have loads of character and I shall have fun painting them.

On another note I also received their Minerva Armoured Car............WOW!!!! It is a stunning little model. I don't know if it's standard practice with 1st Corps but the Minerva came completely assembled with absolutely no cleaning (flash etc) required!!!

First time I've ordered of them and I am really impressed.

Can see the VBCW mob will enjoy these a lot too and would like to see some with steel helmets on but a quick head swop should sort that out :)

I am pleased to say we have added these models to our online store here as well

http://scarabminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_22

We also stock the Minerva, Romwell and lots of other WW1 models.

We are about to add the Woodbine and Musketeer ranges in the next couple of weeks (lots of packs!), so if anyone requires anything from those ranges in the short term, let us know via email.
Kind regards

What bits are you having problems with?

I have not assembled one yet, but looking at the picture on page one here, and then looking at the components and holding them together, it seems OK. Just have to line the bits up when glueing (and avoid fingers) and clip/bend the pipe for the watercooled MG before sticking.

Might be best to stick the motorbike to a base first, then stick wheel to sidecar, then sidecar to motorbike

That despatch rider is a definite purchase at some point. I resisted the Minerva at last year's Salute as the queue was too long and my feet were aching.......next year methinks  :)
