SAM-6 Gainful 1/76

I finally started working on my bucket list after my open heart surgery! The Gainful makes a nice model and had a couple of new methods incorporated. I asked a friend of mine who makes dies to make me two punches for the 24 fins (I was not going to cut 24 fins and I hate repetitive work!) The warheads were made of wood dowel and shaped in a lathe fashion by inserting the dowel in a drill and using sand paper to shape it as the drill was running, the side rails were made using a jig. The decals are home printed, the number of parts lost to the carpet is incredible I tried the plastic office carpet cover, the part lust bounced of on an unknown trajectory and of course ended in the carpet.
