I know this topics almost a year old but I bought 1 of them P&S
kits and it was the most horrible kit I have ever built all the end walls where either to wide or small and it was just a bad kit all round really!

I cant find a link or picture anywhere!
The only IP coach kits I built were the last. They were those roundhouse range ones and they were a pain in the bachside to build eg warped parts, parts wrong size all together etc. All in all a generally awful kit.
End result was nice though :D

Funny that Pure and Simple kit that I built last year was the worst one I had from them, so many of the parts were the wrong size by a few mm it took an age sanding it down. The latest van I got for christmas needed the jig saw using on the planked sections, but everything else was fine

"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."
