I was having a look earlier this evening.

They've  given their site a totally make-over and it was very slow going between pages. So much so that I gave up on them. My guess is they're having a few teething problems with their upgrade.

I built one a couple of weeks ago.Went together quite well and didn't take as long as some of the others to do.

This kit was probably the sixth or seventh metcalfe kit I have built and have a number to do next week whilst I am off work.I've got some semi detached houses,terraced ones,shops in low relief and others that I can't remember I have bought.Might be a bit like christmas when I get out the bag with them in.
