Thanks guys for the help on this one!
I am armed with files, jewelers saws, and a 55 gal drum of milliput! What could possibly go wrong!! haha!
Stickpusher---was the AMT kit a redo of the old Lindberg kit or something different? Also, good to know Lockheed used the same molds----
I guess I need a good set of plans from the RC boys---I'd like to do this build as a WIP if I can figure out how to post photos-----
