What's the issue Lyle?

Mostly, ME....I cannot get a good scan to then cut the masks from the item they nclude. I had one, but i cannot locate it. The kit goes together very easily. IF you follow directions and don't guess as to what is next. ask me how i know.

Just like yourself, I've had several really good kits stashed away that I had heard so much about or had seen online, as you mentioned, that looked so great, I felt I just couldn't do the kit justice. The Tamiya Tomcat is one and the Hasegawa Raptor is another and I've come close to buying that P-38 kit many times as well. I thought that waiting would let my skill set sort of "catch up".

But now, I really don't think I'm improving much at all and at 71, I can't afford to wait further. So, your restart on this is a great inspiration for me to get off my *ss and do something about those kits that taunt me from the stash.

I am stoked so much to see you work your magic on that bird! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress, my friend!
