Yeah I feel your pain. You hit that point and just want to chunk a kit in the trash.

Did somebody say it'll be a putty queen yet    I say press on and put it on a base you can't look under it 

[Joe M]

Thanks guys, but when it was looking like this...



I was really debating whether to toss it!

One of the nicest looking "disasters" I've seen...

Looks nice Joe.

Hey Bill,

Thanks! Planning to build the canopy open and pose the model as if it were sitting on the fight line, perhaps with fod covers, remove before flight tags, chocks, and a crew access ladder... all on a base. Lots of little things to add.

Looks good Joe.  Canopy open or closed?

Hey Guys,

Just posting recent progress in the Gripen that I brought to last weeks meeting... to continue the "disaster build" theme, realized as I was assembling the nose gear that I had the well installed backwards.. out came the dremel with cutting disk... and some major surgery later, have it all patched up... and I thought building a jet was going to be easy!



A few more details, maybe a section of flight line as a base and this one's done!
