Man, you have no idea how much I'm looking forward to the end result. I was close to shipping it out to Tim for sanding.

Thanks! I guess I know what I'll be doing the rest of the morning. This afternoon I plan a HL trip for paint to finish the Star Snoop. I'll need to do some thinking on the Sky Shriek/Spad, but since I have multiple Sky Shrieks, I'm pretty sure I know which way I'm leaning.

Awesome, I would love to see Der Volks Buzzen!

I think someone did that. Seems to me they posted their decal file, as well. It might be over at TRF.

I like the "Politically INcorrect" Goonies far more than those actually produced by Estes.
They should have all been either 18 or 24mm however, not the L-A-M-E-O 13mm they got in the kits.
BT-60 ANYTHING on 13mm power is a JOKE.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

Nice!
