RJ-WobblyHands Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Plastic has been , cut , paint and glue on the fingers , not much changes in 40+ years of making models!! The Sparse interior has been started , It did make me laugh this whole kit has less parts than are required to make the weapons / fuel tanks on the F-18A I am building in the Navy GB 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
