Coming along very nice Owl. One tip- rockets should be aluminum or light gray bodies with OD warheads, not white and read.

Yeah, don't do it like I did. I found this out myself after I finished, so don't make my mistake.

Yeah, go ahead and tell that story at the next IPMS & AMPS...
I do gotta say though, you had a great find when you got that Bearcat and P-6 kit from the guy selling those two.
