… and I can get back to the kit that is driving me bats**t crazy.
Wish me luck – I’m going to need it, as I’m running out of filler!

Interesting conclusion about that model kit on this Website…

Conclusion
Another very nice re-pop from Revell, this kit will build into a very good looking model. I have only heard good things about this kit, in its Special Hobby incarnation and can’t see anything difficult in the build. There is no engine, or gun bay that you may see in other kits of this scale, but this is not really a problem as it simplifies the build and probably improves the fit. There is scope for adding extra detail in the cockpit and undercarriage bays, but that’s about it. Personally I would only add some seat straps and build it out of the box. I can easily recommend this model to anyone interested in an unusual looking aircraft in a nice size.

That review doesn’t mention the almost complete lack of pins, mating tabs or positive glueing surfaces. Also, some parts just don’t fit without much sanding – even simple parts like the elevators. But I am persevering.

Do you know my wife just smiled this instant when I told her about you and your hobby? Sign of the gods?

Yes, but what sort of smile was it? Anything we should be worried about? 🙂
