9/12/06 - I got this model way back when it first came out and started putting it together. And then... well, other shiny things caught my eye. But, here it is, a couple decades later, assembled and waiting... waiting...

The main fault in the model is that the outboard pods only have 4 fins instead of 8. I'm making additional fins from .02 sheet styrene.

3/9/07 - Ah, heck... I'm just buying the aftermarket replacement pieces.

I removed the inaccurate pods using a razor saw. The replacement pods will be fitted to the cut surface with wire mounting pins.

2/22/2010 - New pods in place; puttying underway.

3/20/2010 - Primed! Well, mostly. I didn't want to prime over the red canopy glazing.
