      Thank you Gil! I did something quite similar as you described. That was the best result I got; perhaps I didn't work it long enough. Thank you Ron! Yes, some of that thin metal would help tremendously. I'll be on the lookout for it when I go shopping next.

      Thank you Gil! My perseverance was challenged quite a bit with this kit, but I am thrilled I got through it.    Thank you Carlos! She's beautiful from three feet away at least. And yes, so many people have mentioned that this bird looks so much better with the nose up.

      Thanks Gil. I do have a couple of Takom tanks waiting and am working on an old Vicker's Vimy. These are sideline kits when I am not working on my main project.

      A while back, I obtained a couple of tin printers plates. (They were used before the days of Xerox, laser printers, etc.) They are thin sheets of a tin like metal about the size of a legal pad and can actually be cut with an Exacto, although it's the last thing that particular blade will ever do.  It's thin enough to be bent to just about any shape yet being metal is strong enough to hold that shape. Now, I know that you probably won't be able to find any of this stuff anymore (but if you do hoard all you can get.), but you can get very thin sheet brass and/or aluminum from K&S products. It may cost a bit more than plastic (or any PE product) but a little bit will last you a very long time if used for small parts such as your track return guides.

      The drooping nose is a cool factor on the Concorde, but she looks so much sleeker when it’s raised! Beautiful looking build Mark!
