Re: MiniCraft 1/48 X5F-1
Okay.....NOW it is personal! Time/space continuum be damned! Two parts hit the floor - could not find them. Gear won't fit properly (do not wait to install - do it when called for and then figure out a way to mask it)...When you install the braces on the main strut, the wheel hits it. Arrrgghhh. This morning, a piece of the strut fell off and inside the nacelle. I saw it. Now it is gone. Swept the floor again....found the pieces lost earlier (floor swept 5-6 times then).
Decals are on, but the gear will be as ugly as can be. I may do the long nose next just to see if it was me (80%) or the kit (20%).
Oh, and the furnace quit last night, around 1 A. M. Good thing the temps are going up, not down.

Furnace would have priority for me. Sunny day for some hours today, with temps going down the next days...

Lyle - look in the straw of the broom. Maybe they're hiding in there. LOL! Sorry to hear of your troubles with the X5F-1. Keep plugging along and wrestle the darn thing into submission.

Re: MiniCraft 1/48 X5F-1
I have on other occasions. The strut that was missing showed up on the desk last night. Hold me, I'm scared. Anyway, calling this one done..

Looks good to me, Lyle considering the fits it gave you along the way. Well done!
