                           I'm building Skyhook's resin Planet Express Delivery Ship. Has anyone here built this model? Any tips? I'd like to add some photo-etched grabrails, but I don't know what scale to get. Any suggestions? The rails are meant to go under and external hatch and be the same width as the hatch. The dimensions of the hatch that thses rails are going under are approximately

                        .5cm x .7cm.

                         

                           I would appreciate any input on this. Thanks!

                        I haven't built one, but I've seen it and it's a nifty model.  I think Polar Lights missed a golden opportunity to market a styrene kit of this ship back when they did the Jetsons & Scooby-Doo stuff.  Have you considered simply using soft wire to make the hand rails to the correct size? 

                         

                        Regards,

                           Actually, Joseph, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion!
