About a month ago I got a letter from HMRC (Her Majesties Revenue and Customs) with a large cheque for an Income Tax rebate. I spent a few days sitting in the garden wondering what to do with this hugh windfall, invest on the Stock Market, buy Gold or splash out on fast women and loose cars. I worked out I could get the 75mm Lifeboat kit from Master Korabel and once the postage was paid I would still have enough left over to buy a bottle of beer and a bag of crisps (potato chips) to help with the build. I like the look of some of the Master Korabel kits but I have always been a bit wary of ordering things from places like Russia or China, so this would be a trial run so to speak. 10 days after placing the order the kit turned up so no worries there then. As expected all the instructions are only in Russian but there is a picture set of instructions and I have been watching a chap on Youtube building the 95mm version so there shouldn't be any problems. I tried my nearby Public Lending Library for "Be Fluent in Russian in 7 days" book but someone else has borrowed it and it's unavailable for the next few months. I have Google Translate on my Mobile Phone and using the camera option I have been able to translate some of the instructions but that's all part of the fun of model building. I will be making a start on this at the weekend and will also be continuing with my HMS Eskimo build
