Cat is gone, surrendered to nearby local no-kill shelter, and FAMO currently lives in basement away from everyone else.

Thought of that. Local library doesn't really have long term storage space. The truck museum in Walcott, IA has never returned on my offer to donate some of my truck models for display. Closer museums are all regional so possible subjects to donate are few. The local airport does have a display of airplane models from our local model club members, but it is currently being considered for an overhaul so maybe I could donate to that in the future.

While its nice to know I'm not the only one with durability issues with this model, I am sorry to hear you are having similar problems. This is one model I never intend to build a second time. I just don't have it in me.
Guess I'll try and muster the MoJo to finish the Dreadnaught replacement I started however there will be no thread on here for it. Maybe on one of my other replacement builds in the future.
