I've had this kit unbuilt and gathering dust for quite a long while as it is quite large and my display space is at a premium. Also, the myriad of dormer windows (is that the correct term?) put me off. But they say that fortune favours the brave and I eventually set to work. And here she is:

You may have to scroll up the page as Flickr is behaving a bit strangely at the moment.

Comments welcome.

Nice looking building. Yes, those things are called dormers and there did seem to be a lot of them.

That is a beautiful model. You did a fine job of it, too. Do you know who published it and whether it is still available for purchase. I would like to add it to my collection.

Hello SCEtoAUX and bradford46,

Thank you for your interest. It is a beautiful kit all right, much in the style of L'Instant Durable, and it was one of a set of seven models designed and published by Luis I. Carretero Bajo. But that was a long time ago and I would be surprised if it can still be obtained. Still, you could try writing to Snr. Carretero Bajo. The address I have is:

Apartado Postal 171,
28400 Villalba (Madrid),
Spain

You may be lucky! Please let me know if you have any joy.
