Title: Looking for...... GRS 3F Tank (Jocko/Jinty)....

Playing a long shot here...........

Has anyone got one of the above kits, tucked away in a cupboard/shed/loft, that isn't going to get built (go on, be honest with yourself). If so, would you like to convert it into cash (or writing down money)?

Good home being offered to an unstarted kit (might even consider a part built one).

TIA
Barry

A word of caution for anyone purchasing a "ready built" Jocko ...... if you are worried about accuracy, check that it hasn't been built "straight out of the box" and according to the instructions.
There are a number of glaringly obvious mistakes which need to be rectified.

See http://lakes-pages.com/gauge3.co.uk/G3Forum/index.php/topic,1157.0.html
for more details.

John.

P.S. If the "problems" with the kit sound like a lot of effort.....the result is well worth it!
