Sorry not to have "said" much.   But I have enjoyed watching your build, and your comments on the kit and its construction have made me feel the kit isn't so bad after all.  So will have to add it back to my "gonna' get one someday list"

 Good Job.

I think the kit has gotten a really bad wrap!The FSM article cautions you that installing the wheel spats was very tricky .in my experience,all you have to do is put the model upside down and file the filler blocks to fit,,next I used 2 part 5 minute epoxy to secure the port wheel spat.The longer cure time allows you to make adjustments until the angle is right.The starboard spat was then installed in the same way.The rest of the kit required some filling at the seams but this is sop for older limited run kits and not a deal breaker.The decals were excellent and i think if i can find a williams B 10 it should be a worthy project!
