Wow, just like that and a new body appears. What did that cost if you don't mind my asking.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

About 50 bucks. But it's gonna save me light years of cleaning the old one up. I build for about an hour to two hours per day. This move right here just saved me anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks of build time.

Then it is worth every penny spent. Time has cost and most of us go about life daily without thinking about it.

I'll be keeping a weather eye on this. :popcorn:

Man are you ever right about that!! I just don't want to spend another whole year building another model......unless it's a ship, 4 engined bomber or something big. That was just simply too dang much.

Still need a window/ glass part for this one. I made the side and rear windows on the last one but don't feel all comfy about making a windshield.

I hear ya there. It feels like you’re doing so much stuff to the build that you’ll never reach the finish line...

Hey Joe. You never answered about interest in the Multi-Maverick.

I can snap a pic if you are thinking about it. Trade or cash. Cheap....
