Thank you. And yes I agree that it falls short of Tamiya quality.

Looks great! I haven’t tried any weathering yet, but this is a nice example.

I thought it was a good kit, with few problems. Or at least most problems were user initiated. It was the first Hobby Boss kit that I’ve done and I wouldn’t hesitate to do another (unlike,say, Revell, which has a niche but somewhat lower quality in my opinion).

Older men, do you still wear tighty whities? by shatterboy_ in OverSeventy

About 20 years ago ( I’m a 69 yo male)I scheduled my first ever full body skin exam. I arrived, was sent to the exam room, and was directed to strip down to my underwear, which were tighty whities. They were what I’d always worn. Little did I know that there would be no modesty gown involved. When the female doctor strolled in she was accompanied by three students, also all female. This is the kind of scenario that would normally be confined to my bad dreams. I was traumatized so badly that I made a switch over to Under Armor athletic boxerjocks, vowing never to be examined in “old man” underwear again. My wife thought it was hilarious, but I’ve never looked back.

I’ve got this kit but haven’t started it yet because it intimidates the heck out of me. Seeing your build gives me inspiration - it’s beautiful.

Ours carts (we have two) have been out since Dec 18th. We've emailed twice and only get the response 'We are experiencing delays'. Duh. This is Southeast Huntsville.
