Title: GT Junior 1982 (really, really sorry Pete)
Post by: se on August 21, 2012, 11:10 PM: First off: Pete, I throw myself at your feet. I said I might build it, and eventually caved in. Forgive me.

Second off: sorry not to have made MK this year. Too much stuff on this summer.

Latest build (and the first for a while) and it's a bit naughty as it's a previously-unbuilt (warranty card still stuck in the BB) GT Junior.
