pffff. i wish i had a wife like that!
indeed, with this box on the todo list, ship out that "old" yamato!
and what a scale! nice and big! now, with your new AB in mind, are you planning on doing something special with the paint? cause it's a bigger model, maybe you can do a somewhat more detailed paint scheme?

[update]
quick update on my F15 model: i glued in the forward fuselage, and gave the model another coat of paint.
however, the result was a very ugly orange skin finish, so i sanded down the model again, to remove the orange feel of it.
I will try to find the reason why this happend (first guess: AB not clean enough..) and will keep you up to date on how to solve/prevent it, i would very much apreciate it, if you could share youre AB findings as well, since we both just started out using AB's, why not learn from each other eh?
tonight i will give it another try, if ok, i can start pre-shading the thing and then we're off to the next stage!
