Thanks, guys!

Moon- I've been getting some great tips in various places- instead of nail polish remover, use Mr. Color Leveling thinner. I'll bet Tamiya yellow-cap lacquer thinner deserves a try as well. Apparently even plain rubbing alcohol will do the trick!

Paul, I have been searching for kopecks at every flea market we go to. I had a bunch from my visit to the good old USSR back in 1975. Where they are now- who knows?

Again, much appreciated, my friends!

Frankly guys , the original Tamiya thinner will also work . Not quite as fast , as it is not quite as strong . All three work .
I find that the original Tamiya and 600 grit sandpaper work in a matter of seconds . ( may not be fast enough for pup ) .

Cheers, Luiz!

Dave, whereabouts is Steveston? We're utterly new here.

Chuck, I live a few hours inland in BC but was in Vancouver with my wife for the weekend. Steveston is a historic fishing village in Richmond that's been made all touristy. Some good eating there. :skipper

Shaping up to be a very nice build Chuck! And thanks for the putty refresher!

I miss the view of Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Reiner when flying into SeaTac!

I've never understood how you pin something, transferring the center point is what gets me. I see what you did here, you had the base, drilled hole there. Used the base to find your mark on the fuselage and then mounted the base to the "part" and used the same hole to find where to pin it and drilled through there. Slick!
