I'm of "The Hornet" generation, but I missed the hobby and so after a bit of research I decided to buy the Durga.
I bought a Durga today and started building about 2pm. I am calling it a day at 1 am as I have work tomorrow and I'm knackered! I haven't build a car since the Sonic Fighter but it went quite well (I have age on my side now
). The only setback was that I made the diffs back to front so when it came to fitting the driveshafts, there was too much space one side and not enough on the other, but it wasn't too hard to back track and correct my mistake. I had simply missed a small "turn it over" arrow in the manual!
Any way all that's left to do is cut and paint the shell, fix the on/off switch properly and adjust the steering. here's a pic of my work today
Good fun, I think I really needed to build something.
