Actually they weren't too bad. Minor trimming and they fit

When I was a kid all I built was 72nd. Then I got into detailing and went up to 48th. Now I do both. With a little 144th in between

I think Archie Bunker said it best. "Geez, Louise!"....That sucker is tiny.
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!"..
