    Well it goes together quite nicely! I decided to deviate from the instructions and glue the outer wing panels to the lower center section just to have a stronger bond and less of a seam at the joint. Otherwise paint this weekend. Give me a chance to try my Co2 bottle for airbrush power, so much quiter than a compressor even my small ninja seems loud.
    Good building everyone, hope to have a new post after Sunday sometime!

    Good start Steven. Don't through away the cover on your work area. Probably could sell it as a piece of art.

    Steven,
    A great kit to build and I am sure yours will be top notch. I have been using a CO2 bottle for years and you will love it. Just make sure you ALWAYS close it tightly or you will visit the air supply store very quickly. When it's empty and ready for refill you can carry it with ease. When it's full it takes three men and a boy to pack it around.
