I think I might stop right here .

kinda glad I screwed up and stripped it off 
This round is much more even ...

Doesn't take much to put down too much

( .. see how those hoses that flank the cockpit essentially terminate nowhere ?
. This kit has quite a few of these issues -- I mentioned it earlier . . .. need to scratch-a -greeblie ;D )
