Don't you just love kit instructions some times? Great attitude to take on the recovery.

Wow, it looks like you got that fixed very well. I couldn't even see any issues on the second set of pics. Way to go man!

Nice to know that even the mighty Tamiya can balls it up sometimes! 
Great recovery and thanks for the advice Mike - I was indeed planning on getting one of these at some point.

Re: Medic's Texas Viper
Thanks guys! I don't really think it was all Tamiya's fault. There's just an easier way to do the intake installation. The way I explained also makes it easier to clean up some of the seams in there.
Got the flaps and airbrakes done. Also the tail and base. They'll be painted separately and added at the end.

Re: Medic's Texas Viper
Working on the instrument panel. I may end up using the PE as the HUD and Up Front Display really need it.
