Poste Militaire 90mm trumpeter, 13th regiment of Hussars, Jerome Napoleon

I was given this kit a few years ago as a neighbour of mine was having a clear out and was going to throw it away.
He asked me if I wanted it and of course I said yes and gave it a new home.
A couple of weeks ago during the process of moving out of my home of 31 years due to a separation with my wife, I was having a sort out myself when I found this kit in the stash and decided that once I had settled into my new place I would give it a go.
Anyhow I've been messing around with it, most of my time being spent trying to understand the photocopied instructions but this is where I am at the moment (the horse had been assembled by my neighbour). It's coming together VERY slowly and will be a long term project.


In the second pic I filled the joint on the saddle with Revell model filler then dabbed it with liquid glue to try and blend it into the detail. 
Quite how far I will get with it is another matter as it will be a long term project that I will come back to. Considering the age of the kit (1984) the metal is in good condition with no sign of the 'pitting' that you can get with white metal.
