Feel free to step away from this project Kenny! Take a breather. It's a good project and you've done some tremendous work here, especially the camo and the weathering. But I understand the frustration of things going wrong and losing the gunsight and little window must've been maddening. I'm still looking for a small rod part from my 262 build that is all buttoned up already so it wouldn't do me any good if I found it... but STILL I look. Go work on the tanks... maybe the parts will eventually show up.

I’ll second John’s suggestion. Set it aside, and work on something else... The missing parts will turn up. Don’t force the issue.

The 1:32 kit was the one I always wanted anyway. I’ll be re-doing “Tojo Eats Shit” except that ill be painting the slogan and insignias myself. I pulled the trigger on the kit yesterday. Only AM stuff I’m using will be cowl flaps and wheels.
This will happen 2019/2020.

WOW!!! If you're gonna DO IT, why not do it BIG? You're gonna be blown away by the kit. Just going through the box contents is mind-altering. I'm still not comfortable with my Boyington build... just playing with a few small bits here and there but a little afraid to jump in the pool all the way. Looking forward to see your work on the Big Scale Bird Cage.

I am, basically, a total idiot for this aircraft.

Carlos is right about that one. The 190 is my favorite...……..ANY variant ……….but I do favor the D series.

I know what you mean Kenny. For me it's between the 190, 110 and all nightfighter aircraft.
