Anyone built this kit please?

Any pitfalls to consider in the build?

The only likely issue will possibly be with the firebox which you might find to be undersized.

Bernard,
You might find this thread useful. It's an original Dutchess and from Gladiator but it had the same undersized firebox which I corrected. I believe Gladiator now provide their kit with a revised casting.

Indeed we do, largely because you pointed out the error in the original!
