As I mentioned in my reply above, I am a DAILY reader of this thread. I have not contributed much to this thread because I do not have a lot of experience with this model. I have been in this hobby since 1973 and have build my shear of models along the way. I am in the process of building the 1/6th scale version of this model (from PICA plans) and have learned from all of you, whether it was from some of the pictures that you posted, or just by the description of what you have build or altered. I, for one, thank you all for keeping this thread going.


Just my 2 cents.
