Default What Was The Most Difficult Kit ?

Well, after seeing this post I had to chime in!

The PICA Duellist!

I knew I was in trouble when I asked an experience builder (I think on RCU) if there were any tips for building.
All he could do was Laugh and ask if I liked sanding!

What an understatement.

I must say the kit goes together well but carving and sanding is the skill required to build this kit.

a year and a half later I am still sanding!

trying to get all the lumps and bumps out of the fiberglass so that I can actually put primer on it.

Many people say it is worth the trouble, I sure hope so.

finished 2 kits during the time of working on this duellist and last night decided to start my Patriot kit, (they have not asked me to start sanding yet )
