Klaus, I used some lead free solder I picked up from Radio Shack just the other day, the white is styrene, 0.75 mm, you can't see that its 5 individual pieces.
Daf57. aside from the engine and cockpit, maybe the gun, I don't see much else I could do, so I'll probably limit myself to those areas.
I want to get something finished for a change; I have around a dozen kits that are 'in progress' and on hold for a multitude of reasons. The last kit I finished (which I'll be entering in the Open category) took me the better part of last spring and summer due to mods, PE, scratch building etc. I need do a few out of box builds for a while.
