I finally finished latest model, Tamiya's 1/35 Flak 36. I started this model thinking it was gonna be easy, but it was actually a quite a pain-in-the-you-know. This was because of the age of the kit, almost every peice had massive mold seam lines that had to be scraped and sanded away. This is the first kit I've ever done that drove my wife crazy, because she had to hear me scraping away at seams for months at a time. Also all the fumbly sub-assemblies and fragile parts, I really had to be careful how I handled it. But here it is. It's no masterpiece that's for sure, but it's DONE, and that counts most to me. I just yesterday realized that I forgot to add the decals, but judging by the age of the decals, they probably wouldn't have worked great anyways.

OK, now build the Dragon kit. I guarantee there'll be a divorce.
But seriously, you did great.
