"Waterseaming" looks convincing. Need to try it too.

Never seen that one Bruce. I've dipped parts into scalding hot water to straighten 'em out but this is the first I've seen of the steaming method. Looks like it worked like a charm.

Thanks for following, Tom. Look forward to your thoughts and help along the way.
Marius, I need to remember to integrate things I have learned building other subjects into everything and “build” with memories of X-Wings and Enterprises.
Mustang Joe, I used a travel-size clothes steamer, which you can use to directly apply steam to the fuselage. I started from the tail and worked my way up to the nose. The Joy Mangano travel steamer in white is on special at Target for 12 bucks.
Carlos! Thank you and that is just one great gif from one great movie. You are the master of the well thought through gif response.

Bruce, my words are usually brief and to the point. So photos, memes and gifs are a great way to expand upon them for the eloquence which I often lack.

On the contrary, I always find your writing to be quite elegant and enjoyable. This leads me to this... point. Have you used this? Is Z-Series simply a basic X-Acto with a shiny gold accent? Bling?

No, I’ve never used that. I have three xacto handles. One that is actually Testors Model Master that has a rubber coated body along with a triangular anti rolling fitting thing... and two old original 70’s vintage standard handles. Long before such gaudy devices came along...
I suppose if you have plenty of disposable income and like such flash...

PSSSSTTT...Hey buddy, yeah, you the cop-lookin' one. Over here... I have a pack of 100 of these beauties.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
