No each set is for a different part a set for the windows a set for the seat and so on but the windows set have no windows in it for the ones I mentioned so either the pe set is wrong or academys kit is wrong, I don't know which

Hi guys well the other night I had a bit of a disaster I was trying to straighten the mast, which had started to bend again and it snapped off Oops said a few choice words which I am sure you can imagine words like umm....... Flipping Heck!! and Oh my gosh!!! that sort of thing.
Anyway today i resolved to cure it .I tried a piece of copper wire but being the same width all the way up it did not look at all right, so i thought about using the end of a paint brush and that worked extremely well. Here is the result, I think if you didn't know it was snapped you wouldn't know.

I should have done that in the first, place I should have known it would just keep bending, and in the end it was quite an easy fix, I was just afraid I would not be able to repair it so it didn't show I suppose. Still it's done now and I am pleased with the end result. Thanks for taking the time to look

Hi Jim I didn't mean the Titanic was finished far from it just the mast was finished.

Hi all, sorry its been a while but every time I touch this model something goes wrong, It's lucky it's not been thrown at the wall or been used for target practice, don't get me wrong it's not the k, it went together perfect all fits great it just seem not to want to be built. after the last post I tripped over the step into my model room and emptied a cup of tea over it.
Well anyway I've glued the decks to the hull all there is to do now is the rest of those blooming seats some rigging and some rails round some of the decks,oh and the lifeboat hoists.
