So, what’s next?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I've started on a 1/35 UH-1C Huey from Revell, which is actually an MRC. Not enough progress on it yet to post pics, maybe later today.

Keyda, at the risk of frustrating you, I pulled an original issue P-61 kit out and checked the fit of the fuselage halves and the main cockpit canopy. Fits perfect. Maybe someday I will build it to see if the same holds true for the rest of the kit.

Here is the box art from Scalemates. It has the Shep Paine insert.

I'm not surprised, lol. I bought the kit several years ago, not long after I got into the hobby, so I was clueless as to the in's and out's of the kits. I have since learned a lot about re-boxing's and the like. Still feel like it was a right of passage, and only helped to build my skill set, and teach me even more patience!
