Eric, I have not, but they have some cool stuff as well.
One step forward, one step back. I decided it would be a good idea to secure the props with some poly caps, which a friend in my model club was kind enough to provide. Had to drill out the center of the cowls to do that, and when I did, the they split along the seam. Fortunately it was just the cowls, didn't get to the carb intakes or the booms. So I spent another afternoon with superglue and putty and will have to do some touchup painting tomorrow. That worked out ok since I forgot to paint the gear doors last session, so I can kill two birds with one stone.
On a brighter note, I won a Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire IVB trop (the one Spiros just finished) in our model club door prize drawing last night, and also scored a 1/48 Tamiya J2M Raiden kit that's been partially assembled and came with PE and a nice reference book. One of the club members is getting out of the hobby and contributed a bunch of stuff to our shelf of doom build theme. Wasn't a bad night at all.
I'd like to thank everyone who has been following this for your support and encouragement. I sure appreciate it!
