Another one off the shelf of doom. After I finished it, I sat back and thought to myself, I might actually be a half way decent modeler. I then looked at the pictures I took and, well, nope, probably not. Close up pictures of your work can be very humbling. It makes me appreciate what everyone else here accomplishes all the more.
I realized the wheels had gone crooked after I took the pictures. During construction I drilled them and the spreader bar to accommodate piano wire, so a quick bend straightened them out. I didn't have any micro sol decal film on hand and thought I could get by without it as I didn't see any cracks in the decals. I was wrong. They disintegrated. I pieced them together the best I could and used about 1/4 of a bottle of Solvaset to get them to de-curl and lay flat.
On to the next shelf of doom model.

I can see nothing to be concerned about with this model. It looks very good to me!

Great effort on a Pegasus kit. They are not very easy to build. Nicely done!

Quit beating yourself up Stuart, Pegasus kits are not easy builds. Add to that, you've even assaulted those Merlin kits.
My hat's off to you sir!
