lol, nothing for you to be sorry about Bsyamato - still confused at how I got the legs crossed up. I don't know if I dare snip them & spin them, may just make things worse. My only hope is to go home & find out that the instructions had an error?!?! :whiteflag:

Finito Benito, next Herohito !

Not to worry, Vance.

Happens when a MOJO gets tired from spending a lotta time and energy shoveling snow.

Hurrcanes, no, but we've had several storms roll through this winter with wind gusts between 80-100kph. :o

lol, thanks Jim! Yep, I'm more likely to find these less-typical machines in 1/72 scale of course, but I look at my stash, and start thinking "I already wear glasses" and wonder silently, how long will I be happy dealing with the small scale. So far, so good.

btw, Italeri has a boxing of the Re.2002 in 1/48 scale.

Hopefully, by the time your eye sight requires switching to a larger scale, AIRFIX will have released a 1/24 version...........
OTOH.........Manny is still happily building in 1/48th.
Perhaps old, un-dead Field Marshal eyes don't need spectacles.......or his monocle has "macro " capability......... ;)
