I will reprint and rebuild.
Please stand by....

That is bad news regarding the water damage to your home. Hopefully all is manageable.

Regarding the model, you are now an experienced builder and can make another one.

Oh, that’s awful. Such a sad discovery at the end of your trip. It’s hard to start over. I would have ro build a completely different model before returning to one damaged in that way.

I fixed the roof in about 30-45 minutes. No serious damage to the house. Thanks.

I will rebuild this ATR, it's too nice not to finish it.

I noticed that the propellers in this model were designed as if they should rotate in the same direction, while in reality they are counter rotating. Some flipping in editing program(BTW, I am using GIMP exclusively in this model) and it's fixed
Also I made a mistake in repainting the main gear bay doors. Fixed them also.
I am waiting for my ink cartridges to arrive, as soon as they arrive, I will reprint and begin rebuild.
