I am glad to finally get this one on the shelf. It was a battle from the first cut. Not since I have rebuilt the old Revell 1/32 kits have I had to correct or add something every single step of the way like I had to do to this kit. All in all I am pleased with the result but it was a long road getting there!

I submitted a full build article to FSM so it should hit the shelves late summer or early fall.

Scott, great stuff as usual.

A question for you. How do you get those perfect yellow circles on the bombs? Are they decals or do you place the bomb in something that turns (like a drill)?

I actually had to hand paint them this time. The bombs were too large for any of my drill chucks and the decals that came with the kit were pretty much worthless.

Maybe we should call you "Steady Hands Scott." Thanks.
