Czech Tram

We have recently returned from Portugal. In Porto, I saw their historic trams and thought I'd like to make one - I hadn't found any kits in Portugal ;-(


I knew I had a few trams in my collection of ABC magazine kits, and thought it would make a change to try a few of their model.


I can't give you any info on the tram because the instructions are in Czech. All I can say is that the tram is about six inches long. I copied they original parts, mainly to have it on heavyer paper and also to mute the colours a little.

It's not one of my best models, I'm sure it's me and not the kit that's at fault.

Cheers
Mike

One quick point.

You will notoce on the side a small number that looks as if there is a part missing - I only noticed when I looked at the pictures.

I've checked the kit and the picture on the instructions is the same. There are only about 46 numbered parts.

Cheers
Mike

Very nice.

Wish it was easier to subscribe to ABC - last time was a mission when I tried.

They did capture a lot of character with that model.

Only 46 pieces???

I think that might be a tram number, since 78 also appears on the base
