Interesting, how are you planning on removing the seam from the tube?

I'll try to put the seams in the less visible part from outside. Also putty can help, probably i'll use milliput instead of regular tamiya :hmm:

Your building skills are extremely effective—at any scale—but at 1/72, excellent. Sincerely. The IP is beautiful. Do you create your plan as you go or do you pretty much have your building plan—including any modifications—mapped out from the start? I am trying to understand the process better because I need to become more efficient. I feel you go forward pretty much like a rocket (I have followed your builds with the helicopters as well).
