Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate your comments.
Gip, I have both kits and will be doing a head to head review. They are not shared molds and there are a lot of differences between them. What was the hardest thing on this kit? Had to be the joints at the engine nacelles to the wings - real bad. Next would be the juncture of the fin and elevators.
The article on salting and weathering is up on my site now also.
