I found that the Hasegawa kits did have some minor build issues years ago. Some like their F104 had more than minor issues. Turned out really nice John. Good to see that you are still building them out.

I do miss watching ChukW's builds. His use of his little cartoonish characters to illustrate the process was always enjoyable. Too bad he moved to the Seattle area and went all angry.
