Lovely work, Bruce.
All that whirly-talky makes me feel dizzy...

There is a Japanese horror manga about spirals. I won't post any images here but you can google Uzumaki if you want to see some really freaky spirals.

Ken, Torben, John—Thank you all for your comments.
I am following the three of you—I know Ken’s Corsair is standing proud, that Torben trimmed his stash (not his mustache) last year and John’s Corsair wheel wells are chipped.
I keep thinking about what Torben advises John to do about sanding edges, in a selfish way (apologies) as this feathering is a technique I use often.
I am sure others do this as well or do they?
Do do or do not...
After I re “do” the white, I will add the spiral mask.
I will airbrush a mist coat of white to lock the mask edges in place.
I am not sure I have seen other modeler-maskers do this here or not.
Radu advises using Maskol in his tutorial.

Started gluing parts!
That is always fun—
Mr. Cement Deluxe!

I feel like I am writing haikus while high on glue.

Ken: Haha! I stayed away from the swirly search—
to avoid the nightmares! I am glad your foot is not broken, bud!

Looking good!

Now we're getting somewhere Bruce! The detail to me is incredible on this kit, but I don't have much experience in the 1/72 range.

In the long run, most reviews are quite subjective, based upon the reviewer’s biases and experience. EspecIlly when they say thing like “sub par” for a kit of XYZ brand.
