I decided that the previous kit was salvageable so I got a new kit.

Tell me again what happened? Decals, paint? Off to a good start.

Lots of problems with the decals. They're supper thin and break easily. Then when I put the gloss coat on after the decals were finished it ate right through them.

Might be a good one to try stripping techniques! or firecrackers.

It's already been taken care of. I did save some stuff like landing gear/doors and weapons.LyleW wrote:Might be a good one to try stripping techniques! or firecrackers.
Good to know that the fit is crappy with this kit as well.

Had to add a spreader sprue to the front fuselage. I'll have to add one to the rear to get rid of a big gap on one wing.
