Good choice Greg, and yes there have been occasions where we all spend more on after market stuff than the actual kit. It's a mystery of the sea I say.

I seem to recall that the old Monogram kit came with a big tropical filter and also maybe a REALLY big filter. If you know someone with old Monogram Hurricane parts in their box of "extra goodies" you might be able to get it. IF the e-bay thing doesn't go well, of course. With a name like "Red Roo Models" I'll bet the parts come from the Land Down Under. Our Australian brothers & sisters really like modeling.)

Just posted the build to the headlines.
