I subscribed earlier. Looking good, Mike. I do not understand why the kit parts did not fit. Highly unusual for abandai.

I think I figured out the problem. Some of the parts are miss-labeled on the instructions. I was adding some parts to the wings and noticed that they're only going to fit in one spot and one spot only. :headbang:

Makes sense. Good catch, and you solved the problem by removing the locators. All good. No head pounding, bud. You got this.

I've gotten good at figuring these things out. At least I got it before I really screwed up something.

:hmm:

X-Wings use the same Sergeant Fletcher drop tanks as Phantoms?

Great bench shot! Your finish work is phenomenal. Yea it’s primer but it’s smooth as silk.

Alright it's time to get back to work on things. Adding the cockpit and building up the fuselage on the X-wing.
