[Later] Sorted it, but you need Sherlock's deductive reasoning to figure it out.....

That's true of a lot of the Airfix/Humbrol Website  :banghead:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I always hope for the best.

It's great to see a kit finally reach the threshold, although it makes me wonder if Airfix reduced the number needed as some folk have mentioned seeing the backing "jump" from 70% to 100% over a week...

Just seen an announcement on the Airfix forums from Jul 8th: Kitstarter is officially dead. No more models will be produced under it.

What a surprise.................. NOT!

With their present management we'll be lucky to see ANYthing from them at this rate.

Did they only do the Bassett under the scheme, or were there others too?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
