Ouch, Terri! Take a break and you'll get it done.

Can't wait to see it back in the saddle...Dan

Sorry to hear of your difficulty with the tail rigging T

On the plus side I know you will beat the problem after you walk away for a while. Hopefully not long

Im just catching up and saw all the success. The 17 looks great!! Stepping away for a bit then re evaluating the problem areas is a good idea.

Thank-you so much for the support guys . I finally went and sat done in front of the bench with a new set of eyes today . Turnbuckles are an easy fix . The paint I will need to think about this . Vallejo Metal coats don't sand well at all . It will make it even worse then what it is now . Support strut of the lower tail also needs attention as well . I will let this sit for a few days before I start .

Looks like something you will be able to handle with no real problem T. If worst comes to worst throw some dirt over that small glitch in the paint

Another lovely noop - I’m sure once she’s finished you won’t even be able to see these minor things! However we have all been there so understand the frustration at these small setbacks. Cheers Matt

Just as I thought you were heading for a super finish.... ugh! Yes we have all been there Terri - but remember that what we see as a major flaw on our models others barely notice -(even if they see it). Like the others I am completely confident that you will overcome this problem and will finish with another super model.

Should be fixable, Terri. Just take your time and think things through.
