My other question mark besides can I live with it is that during my modelling period this tender would be relatively new and I am not sure that the premise of a wartime Friday afternoon at Swindon is enough of an excuse to leave it be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the easiest things in the world to take photos of so in the end I squirted a bit of primer at it to get a better view of what it might look like after paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
