No Maxida, there are no more excuses!
Well, of course there are, you just wait. You're right about the Roden kits, but if you get yourself used to think and plan a little more beforehand, they are not that bad. Actually I think they are just as good as Eduard's when finished. An interesting thing is, when you build Roden's earlier builds, it's good to put on the engine side panels to the fuselage halves first. Then you can fill and sand the joint, as on earlier builds there is no joint there. Good luck.

Thank you for the comments on my old build, Stephen. Not much one can hide from your trained eye, is there? You're right, of course. Very nice decal sheets, by the way.

Thanks,
Kofoed
