Self inflicted setback No. 1:
When I decided to do the Panther Early A instead of the Late G, I got a bunch of new aftermarket stuff for the early vehicle. I forgot to get the Eduard barrel, and grabbed the barrel last night only to see "Panther G for Tamiya" written on the package. That explains that scream of dispair you may have heard at around 10pm EST last night. Apparently the people on the ISS heard it.

Self inflicted setback No. 2:
I only have one can of dark yellow Tamiya spray. No way that's going to be enough.
Complications, complications! I tihnk I'm going to abandon modeling and adopt a safer, less stressful hobby, like defusing unexploded ordnance.
Well, hopefully it will not be too big a deal or a delay, as I've still got lots of photoetch stuff to bend and lose in the rug, while cursing at it, stuff no one will ever notice anyway.
Life is good!

That said, I am still aiming to have this sucker done by the end of the month! Where there's life, there's hope.
