Those look awesome. I've done a bit of PE and find it pretty frustrating at 1/48 scale. I don't know that I'd attempt what you're doing here! :nono:

She is 96. She still exists, just resting for all eternity on the bottom of the Pacific

You're right Stick, I guess she does.
This weekend I started the last 23 planes. I ground out all of the Kates and installed the interiors. The fuse walls are so thin that there are some filling that needs to be done. I'm going to try sprue goo to see if that holds up better than filler.

Thanks Lyle and Medic

Would this be a gaggle of Kates or a murder of Kates?
