| Looking slick! I have one more week over here. Watching the TV films of the Tsunami last night was incredible. Watching some guy trying to outrun a tractor trailer being swept down the street. And the films of the skyscrapers swaying in Tokyo was pretty scary. Very nice build. |

| Ahoy Luke thank you sir, I used regular masking tape useing a metal straight edge ruler. First I scored two 1/32 pieces of masking tape applied it to the color line and onother one below the 1/32 masking trim strip. useing an airbrush the rest is history. she will be a great flyer when done I done a lot of sanding to get rid of some weight. most of these Guillow and Sterling kits are on the heavy side you got to get rid of the extra weight. Green and yellow is a very pretty color for the champ 85. I had this kit scince 1962 stored in a dry place for decades on end it builds just as good as the day I bought it.I highly recemend this kit a truely easy kit to build the novis shouldn,t have any beef with this kit.

| I like sushi and sashimi. I get that at a bar up the street but the only other place is a noodle house. How do they eat smoked fish for breakfast with no beer? I just can't understand that. It's just a job. |
