Hi Ian, nice to hear from you, there are a few Alberts around the world now but I haven't heard from many, there is one on RCgroups that looks great, as for the kits, well life has taken quite a few twists and turns, needed throat surgery earlier in the year then I had some brain surgery a few months back, I'm still getting over that lot and they tell me it's about 12 months before I will feel the benefit.
The Albert kits are still on the list of things to re start along with my mini logging tugs and a couple of other kits I have been playing with, sadly I can't work with fibreglass anymore and I had to do a lot of trimming of the Albert hull after they arrived from the company that did them for me so I'm putting most of my energy into a large format vacuum former..............watch this space :)
Regards
Phill
