This will not be a quick build as I've done with my previous builds. Taking my time to make this without any screw up rush jobs.

Looks fun. I like a good aggressor as well. Tried my a
Hand at the old Hasegawa 1/32 F-5E when I was in high school. I was over my head though, as far as modeling abilities at that point, don’t know what happened to that kit— would like to give it another shot one day.

The set screw is to hold needle...

I found it!

After having almost losing it, I'm ordering more set screws in case I lose it again. $8 for a pack of 6 at Paasche airbrush website.

Time to go buy a lottery ticket! I lost one out of a handle of a DSPIAE pin drill set. Heard it his the floor and....POOF, it was gone. They sent me several for free.
