You know you do it too... you get that perfect stance on a model and sit it on your bench and check it out for a day or two!

Finished up (mostly) the chassis on my Merc... Got the stance I was after! I'm not quite sure how I acheived the taildragger rake, but I'm not gonna question it! All 4 corners lowered by 3/32 styrene shims, modified exhaust (rearend, exhaust and pan can't all occupy the same space!) I still need to start polishing the paint...

Here's an example of how finicky this Ultraviolet pearl paint is. First pic is available light, no flash (looks this way normally). Second pic is with flash...

Hi, Steve! Say, are those the Sombreros that came in the Revell kit? The tires too? Man, they sure look right! And, YES! The perfect Taildragger-Tilt! It has been nailed...
