Time for a Snark...
Grab some simple shake and bake James, but only when you're ready.

Don't despair James. Work on the things you like, as you feel like it, at your own pace. I like to look at it this way; it is a model, they make more every day! I am up to my third Williams Bros. Douglas world cruiser, 3rd Tamyia Skyray, second Trumpeter Kilo sub, second airfix 1/144 737, second 737-800,(even switched from Revell to Zvezda) and there are several others. Not because I didn't like how they turned out, but because I screwed them up before I could finish them. Happens often, I just grab another box of plastic to torture, sometimes I win, more often it is a draw. The important thing though is up until the point I messed it up I was usually enjoying what I was doing, it kept me occupied and engaged and let me imagine what it could be, so while frustrating it was not a lost cause or something not worth doing. And there will always be the "next one".

Sorry to see you had a FUBAR experience. When I sense one of those things coming on I tend to set the kit aside these days and ponder on the problem. It isn't always a total loss. I have learned a lot from fixing the screwups and one "rebuild" ended up being an IPMS Regional first place winner. You would have thought it a total loss when I put it back in the box but a year later I pulled it out and made a sows ear into a silk purse.
Switch to something else you are really wanting to do and enjoy it James. Occasionally ponder on what the issue is and think on how you might make it right. Don't fret about it and when you get the inspiration give it a try.
My Albie is being a bit trying, but I have learned a LOT from the problems and the next kit will go much easier because I fought with the Albie a bit.
You can do it (when you get ready)
