Cool! I have this kit too along with some resin parts for it - I think I did actually start back in 2016. It does have some issues - especially around the F1 engines and the 2nd stage engines, but generally it looks okay.

I went looking for 3d files for this thing… the stage 1 engine nozzles and the escape tower were all that I could find… and yes, the bottom of stage 2 certainly needs help… if you plan to display it all open between stages.

I think I have this one, too! Group build!!!

Mail Call from UMM-USA

Dropped my 3.5mm chisel on the concrete floor too many times so I needed a replacement.
Also wanted to try this scriber. I played with it for 2 minutes and am already very impressed/happy with it.

Look like some good tools there Chris.

Definitely Stuart. I have been super pleased with everything I have purchased from UMM-USA. Highly recommended.

May have to look into that scribing tool I have his earlier ones, but the longer one looks like it would give better control.

Scores I got from Winter Blitz model show yesterday.
