I need to check this out. I made the cockpit fit fairly snug.

You can always sand a little off the contact surfaces of the cockpit insert to reduce or remove that gap.

The fourth was a rough one my friend. By the end of my shift I felt like Luke hanging off the bottom of Cloud City- metaphorically speaking that is. I had no physical injuries unlike some folks whose bad day was my tasking... we shall see what Cinco has in store.
That car kit is a BEAUTY!!!! Post a thread on that project please!
As far as your Mustang goes, the dark side of Evergreen is trying to seduce you... Beware! Oh I’ll just do this... now I’ll add that... wait, that needs addressing now...

Carlos,
I am sending my best wishes for a peaceful Cinco de Mayo experience. Your analogy from the Fourth serves as a reminder that all those who work serving and protecting the public (definitely including my buddies in this who are paramedics and firefighters as well) are tested to the limits of their patience and endurance by holiday celebrations as well as disasters. My next door neighbor headed up the local ER. Well I can recall his appearance following a full moon shift; pretty much exactly how you described you night work...
