F16je,

I have been scratching, boning out and finishing kits and scale birds for years and never did it once pass my mind to pull something like this on a fellow modeler/client ever. This kit should have been boned out and ready for finishing at 12 months 18 at the most. This is unfortunate when you hear of such things. Hope you bring a happy ending to this one and good luck
