I'll see what I can do with it. May be a few days before I get to it though.

Thank you guys,
I started on the next set by assembling the fuselages, sanding the seams and grinding off the canopies. Tonight I'll start the grinding out process. I'm getting the process down. After removing the plastic canopy I grind out a trench from the bottom of the fuse. I'll then attach the wing and work from the top. This method prevents the fuse from breaking but I still have to careful not to grind through the side.
I'll take some pics of the process tonight.

BTW. The Akagi would have been 96 yesterday.
