JimC Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hey, guys, This is embarrassing, but I'll just put it out there. I started my F-16 Block 52 yesterday, beginning with the fuel tanks, and already managed to mess them up. I got lazy and... I clipped the fins so they'd look more like the actual fins on the real tanks, but I over did it. I took about 1/32" off both sides on both tanks. If I can (eventually) get a decent pic of the tanks, I'll post it to my PB account, but what would YOU do? Blow it off, and use 'em anyway? Send to Hannants for another sprue? Wait for the two Tamiya kits I have on order with Hannants to arrive? Any advice appreciated, and thanks. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dreammh Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah, clip off the whole fin and replace with a styrene piece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I agree. Don't sweat it. We all make mistakes like this. Nice thing is, it is easily fixable. You'll be alright. ;) That's what making progress in this hobby is - it's not that the really good builders don't make mistakes, they just figure out how to fix 'em...
