This Revell kit that I've seen built so well by many of you is either going into the trash or will be given away to someone in the neighborhood with kids that might, for a few moments, appreciate the crude attempt.
I seem to be screwing up more and more rather than getting better and better but I'll continue building more kits when the mood dictates.
So many screw ups on this kit I'd be ashamed to post it were it not for my penchent to expose my faulty modeling to a group who can, perhaps, sympathize with my skill level - low for the hobby in general but OK for theraputic purposes :) and push me on to build more.
In the case of this kit I just couldn't get some parts to fit correctly (the fuselage halves on my kit were not aligned correctly) so much sanding, filing and reshaping was in order. I also screwed up some of the decals. I cut the Balkenkreuz on the starboard side of the fuselage poorly and just decided to cover it over with another one that was larger. You can see the old one underneath. Not a pro move. I also couldn't get the canopy forward and main sections to sit closely enough together. I tried but to no avail.
At any rate I hope my next project will find me posting pictures that show some improvement in this hobby of mine.
Well Flicker has taken the "Camera Roll" section down ... bummer. Hopefully not for long. These microscopic images are all I can post for the moment. I'll repost them to my standard size when I can.
OK, gee whiz, FineScale cut off my "***" in the subject title!!! Why? I've just tried to put it back in the subject title so we'll see if it's cut again.
Now for an attempt to use Postimage to post the pictures that are represented in the thumbnails above:
Success! At least for posting the pictures .. we'll see about the "***" :)
