Building the 18mm/18mm version. This is proveing to be a challenging model thought it is rated at intermediate/advanced. I guess I've been spoiled on 3FNC.
Hand shaping the fins has be difficult, and I botched the styrene strips detail on the Tiny Tim booster, but was able to fashion new details out of card stock. I'm enjoying building it and am looking forward to trying the "passport" staging technique.
I've tried a new filling technique involving bondo (in the tube) dilluted with acetone for a "paint it on" application similar to Elmers' wood filler. One dissadvantage: heavy chemical odor untill cured anyway.
Will post pics later.
