Certainly what it looks like from here. Wonder what would happen if fermis ever slowed down & worked on one kit at a time??? It'd probably MELT under the sheer intensity, like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight on ants... :boom:
I am a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, smothered in Canadian bacon.

Have to agree with manny on this one.
Manny, you are aware this is fermis we're talking about right? If there were no mustangs on his bench the earth would plummet into the sun.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Just doing my part, to save all of mankind!!!!



All is painted...had the masking peel up some "metal" on the 51 (1/2 the panel under the pit), other than that, all went well! Spraying "color" at a 51D felt...odd...almost wrong!!!

This man speaks the truth! :P
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.

Decals....

Image

Image

The decal sheet provided three right side checkerboards and one left side...had to cut a right side up for the left...

Image

A little touch up paint needed at the bottom, decals didn't quite fit.
