vetteman42:If I can build an acceptable P-61 anyone here can. I have seen a few of them turned into pure art by builders much better than I am here. The canopy can be a problem but is quite fixable with a bit of work. I think the detail in this kit out weighs the few problems it has. How many twin boom kits really fit well at the wing ? And how many canopy fit troubles do we see on most of the kits we build ? Its a good kit.
Just my 
worth
Exactly. I've often wondered why some of the people who build a kit and complain about any work beyond shake 'n'' bake don't just give up scale modeling and collect die cast instead. Pay someone else to do it, if building it is too much work.
That's the whole point for me, building these old Monogram and Revell kits. They build up nicely, out of the box, but they also provide such a great opportunity to exercise and improve our detailing skills.
And I still like re-enacting the Battle of Midway with my SBD
