  2. very nice.......no gaps! to limit the rounding of edges, take a piece of sand paper and glue it to a flat board. rub on it with very little pressure........you'll get a squared edge every time you make pulling out that Marine Models PT boat kit I have very tempting Tim, but with all the projects I've got going at the moment.....I'd better not. looking forward in seeing more of your progress

I know that if I finished my last build, and had nothing new to work on........I would have a kit in front of me in no time! that's just the way we roll.......of course, it would start because she would see me looking at a plastic kit....she doesn't want me doing plastic any more, and will do anything to keep me from them. {I think it's cute and very funny} "oh dear.......all I have left is this old Trumpeter kit....guess it will have to do."
