February 20, 2024Learn a lesson forgotten of not forcing pieces together. Make sure that they easily slide on and off. Main gear shattered.15
February 20, 2024With a little bit of luck was able to glue back together the main shattered gear. Only question is whether or not the the gear will be able to support the model.16

April 6, 2024Since 1st kit in a while seem lines for this kit are pretty obvious.18
