    Has anyone kept track of the hours to do the build from the kit?

    1883.75 hours is what he shows on his project.

      1800 hours building time for the kit, including a long list of mods which all added hundreds of hours. Several repeat jobs were worked in there, and I was learning from scratch.

        Battson, this is not using any of the quick-build kit options? and you purchased each of the 3 kits in their entirety from Mark? Thanks! Matt

          No that is the quick build kit of 2012 vintage, the kits have changed a little over time.
          Without modifications and rework on my kit, it would have been more like 1200 to 1400 hours I would guess.

          I would also note that these are Bearhawk 4-place build times, but the building steps are similar enough for a Patrol that they should be comparable.
