                        Looks like your having lots of fun there Scott. I hate when i have to remove detail i have spent ages adding to get somthing to fit.

                        having to scribble your own instructions onto the instructions is not a good sign.

                         

                        Can't argue with that!!!!! I make my own notes sometimes but never that many!

                        im not sure how detailed a tutor there will be, but I will certainly take in progress photos!  They are just photoetched metal....

                        Justin: Very cool, looking forward to seeing how the spinning prop PE looks. 

                        Toshi: There was an article in FSM some years ago about the spinning prop PE but I don't remember which issue. And love how the Skitter is coming along- love the photos of the bombs and all the guns in the nose!

                        I just started working on the clear parts of the clear cowling.  Utilizing CA for the magnets, I'm very careful not to get it cloudy.

                        The clear cowling looks like #%^>€£>~%^!!!  So I'm going to leave everything open.  Tamiya, this is a bad call! 

                        Some time ago, I built a Me 262 and a SBD Dauntless.  These were visible CLEAR parts that you could see through.  For the kind of money I paid, you would thing Tamiya would be a little smarter!

                          P.S.  The Me 262 and the SBD Dauntless were trumpeter 1/32 kits.  Shame on you Tamiya!

                        Toshi, Tamiya's engineering is generally so good it makes me think there was a reason for the cloudy clear part. If so, wonder what it is?

                        Castel, nice NMF. Yes

                        Beav, you're coming along well.

                        If I missed anyone it was not intentional.

                        Also looking forward to seeing the prop blur, Justin.  Haven't tried anything like that.

                        Toshi:  Unfortunate about the clear parts; still you're coping well.  One does wonder what manufacturers are thinking, sometimes.  I built an Enterprise for the Star Trek group build earlier this year, and a number of clear parts were included:  clear enough to see all the locating tabs and fixtures through them.  I ended up painting them on the outside.

                        One does wounder that after putting all that effort into this kit, the clear parts are so poor. Do you think a dip in future would help.

                        Perhaps some headlight polish would help. That cleared up a hazy canopy I had once.
