pretty awesome - been 20 years since i put an airfix together

tilover,

Get some tweezer, it'll be much easier to put together.

i'll need tweezer, dremel, file, superglue, surgical blade, soldering iron, sarroni red paint, and a crap load of patience

but at least i don't have to fork out on the full miniature campagnolo toolbox ;)

very nice. wanna see a pic of it completed

it arrived!!

You've got giant hands!

I built exactly the same thing approx 25 years ago. I think I never really finished it. Too difficult, not precise enough, not enough patience maybe.
Don't mess it up, as I did mine.

picked this up yesterday lo pro

picked what up?

Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra 88/89

Just need a white Arione and to tidy up the cabling. So lovely to ride

are you looking to sell the black arione in the pic then? : )

no :) that's going back onto my Gazelle - just been trying out a bunch of different saddles

I'm made up that you're actually building and not just pulling one off to it.
