Excellent recovery from the kit parts. Wow.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Think that's good, ya oughta watch FERMIS in flight recover from a spin.............. ;)

I don't know whether to be more amazed by FERMIS' scratch built details or the fact that he is still able to focus- much less see- all those small parts............ :o

Only had to do a spin recovery once...wasn't real pretty, but I got the job done!
Saved my own life in a high speed stall recovery...had only inches to spare (literally!)...scary stuff.

My eye's are still rockin....sportin 20/20+.....for now.

You may, or may not be right....I dunno. Haven't really looked into it yet. I have a 1/48 Italeri kit that includes the dolly...plan is to copy it smaller.....wheels may end up being an issue. I'll worry about it a little later.

Took a bit to get ready for paint. Tailplane fit was sucky, at best...wing/fuse joint was a joke. Sliding canopy piece was way shorter than windscreen and didn't fit over rear piece (smash molded a new one)....lots of filling/sanding...lather, rinse, repeat!

Got the "pre-painting" done, as well as the color "flashes".
