Paul the basis of this model is a hull and other parts from Franz Pracht that I bought a very long time ago, as much as 20 years ago. I work on a series of 6-7 models when the mood strikes me these days, so it takes me a really long time to get to a finished state. I mean what is finished mean anyway?

It is 1/10 scale. It's funny you say "odd scale"; perhaps at this time they are. When I entered this hobby in the 1970s if it wasn't 1/15 (or the emerging 1/16 scale)
it was certainly 1/10 scale and to a degree 1/8. 1/6th didn't exist but 1/7 did mostly in Germany because of the use of bicycle chain for the track basis.


But to answer your question properly; I can't consider the model as a whole a scratch built because I didn't make the foundation however I have made or added everything else. It is day and night different than the model I bought all those years ago.
