Tonight I assembled the Sidewinders. The tanks had to be rescribed (for some reason they had raised panel lines) and now they'll get cleaned up. Also I painted the tires.

Nice work Mike.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks guys! The raised panel lines are just on the drop tanks and nothing else.

That's a lot of sanding!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Well being a Tamiya kit, the fit is not what I expected.
