Amazingly enough, I've finished my second kit this year, and the second in as many weeks; most of the work was done last year. It was a Christmas gift, and I hadn't built an "E" yet. I'm not enthused with Hasegawa's Phantoms; they look the part, but the parts breakdown due to having a common mold can cause some fit issues, which prevents me from paying top dollar for them. I do like the fact that I get to have a lot of spare parts for other builds once I'm finished. The kit decals scared me as they seemed really thick, but they settled down well. I had hoped to get it done for the Fourth, but it wasn't to be.
