Black Or Red

[Giddykippa]

I find it odd that some screws in visible places are colour matched to part they're securing but in other places they just go for black one of the most obvious places is under the bonnet in pack 1 the support grid and side cover are all secured using black screws yet in pack 7 when the hinges and stays are fitted they're all secured with colour matched screws which i find just plain daft so i painted mine red it's not an absolutely perfect match but it's pretty dam close and way better than black in my opinion

I almost ordered that Bus stop but then realised it was 1:24 scale shame. I wonder if we could get away with it but there are no measurements wish I knew what size it was. Nice though
