Hello as well!
The kit is by SDV Models - a Praga S5T 1 - HO scale which I picked up recently for £1. There seems to be a lot of flash and the illustrations are very blurred. Hey in for penny in for a pound as we say!

Thanks Jim D, Raymo and Jim.
I have never known bad flash as on a this model. It is difficult to know what is flash and what is not because the illustrations are so bad.
Check the first picture. These are the trucks doors. I think the one on the right is now clean :-\ . The other picture shows the parts I have cleaned up so far but I am concerned that I may have cut a vital part wrongly. We will see.....

Harry, it is incredible that they would ship a kit with so much flash. But fantastic effort in cleaning it up.
