I think I saw a spot that wasn't covered by a decal!

Looks Great! The IsraDecal set for the Phantom has an abundance of stencils as well. Looks like this set wasn't either

Had a tiny arm for the main strut nip and fly off into God knows where. I knew I shoulda used tape to hold it in place before cutting from the sprue.

I have a ballpark idea the direction it went. Just gotta hunt it down with a bright flashlight.

I found it!

I started on the floor carefully sweeping up anything under my bench and around the right side where I knew the direction it flew in. Nothing on the floor. Next, I emptied my waste basket that could be the possibility it went in. Nope.
Next, I cleared the top of my desk workbench removing everything off. Lo and behold, it was there on top of the large blue cutting board. I immediately placed it in the small plastic container with the other parts and pieces to the Firebird kit.

Looking good!

A man just can’t catch a break... a small angle strut arm for one of the gear doors snapped.

Man, those things are so damn tiny, delicate and snap easily if you’re not careful handling it. Super glued it and letting it set overnight. Tomorrow, I’ll get another crack at it.

Suggestion: drill a slight divot into the main strut where the arm attached. That way there is more surface area and a more secure attachment point compared to a simple butt join.

That's a nice looking flying data stencil your building!
