Coming along nicely.

I've seen some bad fitting kits but wow this one has to be the worse. Glad to see you sanded it into shape.

I think this one is going back to the shelf of doom. After striping the paint, there's still way to much to fill and sand that I just don't have the motivation to work on it anymore. This was a nightmare kit to begin with.

Hmmm... I'd tie it to a Roman candle. Then yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!" and watch it go to kingdom come! :whistle: :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:
