A 45mm gauge kit-build Aster GWR "Farleigh Castle", partly assembled.

We've had some many Asters over the years including several kit-built models, but haven't seen an unassembled one before. Standard of production is, as expected from the manufacturer, excellent.

The kit appears to be complete, down to the rolling road, electric blower and decals sheet, though the assembly instructions are missing.

We had an Aster Castle in Built Up form earlier this month - there are pictures in the Archive if you need some inspiration.

Includes free UK shipping.
