Looks like fun. Pantherman

If you have PE dive flaps for it, use it. They’re better than the kit’s dive flaps.

Tip of the Day: Do not drop small PE bits on carpet. They will be gone forever.
Just sayin!!

Floors are extremely dangerous for model kits. I lost the pitot tube for my P40 on hardwood.

I've been eyeing this kit for a while. Looking forward to your build

Looking forward to see this progress, those pilots were blessed with balls of unobtainium.

I was let go from my job today. My priority is now job hunting. I will still have more time to be at the bench building and also working on flooring project.

Oh crap!! I hope you find something soon

Me too. It won’t take long I’m sure

Pfffttt….rookie. We all had our share of losing parts into the vast nothingness. Don’t you fret… you will find them when you least expect it.

I’d rather have hardwood or linoleum floor than carpet. Carpet tend to eat them and never to be found.

Rookie? Huh It’s weird because I can search for an hour when I first drop it and never find it. Then one day I can walk in the room and look down and it’s sitting right there. IDK.

I lost a prominent part around 5mths ago, searched absolutely everywhere, cleaned down the bench, hands and knees on the floor with a torch all for nothing.

I was bending some PE for the pink panther earlier and lost a part, it just vanished. When I was putting the bending vice back a glint of metal caught my eye and I found both of the missing parts stuck to the base. Mystery solved at Last. Pantherman
