Took some time this weekend and finished this one up.

The framework for the glazing just did not want to fit without judicious modification. Much time was spent trimming and repositioning all the pieces for better fit.

So, this whole project started out simply but quickly escalated into a challenging and skill developing build.

From learning how to vacuform to the complex control surface linkages, there were plenty of challenges and some frustration.

The glossy paper and its dislike for CA glue did not help matters. Paint was my friend.

Anyway, I don't consider this my cleanest build by any means, but I am still happy with the results.

Thanks for following along.
