Yeah, it can be frustrating when you realize that you forgot to do something that was important.
My biggest blunder involved the Hasegawa Rufe. I installed a Verlinden cockpit in this kit, so it was one that I wanted to feature in my case. I built, painted, decalled & weathered the fuselage separate from the main float. It was only when I went to join the two that I discovered, to my horror, that I forgot to add weight to the float. VERY expensive mistake.

Hey Drew;
Don't you hate it when that happens, it's like it never happened to me beforeWink [;)], I built an A-20G Havoc for a customer and forgot to put in both of the backing plates I made for the side scoops on the nacells, OOOPPS, I ended up buying another kit and making it for them and keeping the original Havoc for myself, like I didn't mind

It seems like I say that at least once on every model I build. This one is no different. Building Tamiya's Beaufighter, checked to see that every thing is in place etc, etc. On to painting, finish the color coats, ready to gloss. Clean-up my bench, throw-out the garbage, WAIT What the heck is on the clear sprue. The gun sight. Now to pry off the top canopy and put those tweesers to work.

I'd like to hear what your, your uh, well what does happen?
