Yours didn't come with a clear vacu-formed canopy in addition to the
solid resin one?

Sounds like mine! Just watch out when you start sanding! It's easy to
crack the thing with minimal pressure, and be very careful when cutting
tape on the model when you mask it!

I'd sell my spares if I knew which ones *were* spares, and where most
of them go on the kit!!! I had to look up almost every decal for Sky 1
since my kit didn't come with any placement instructions, and I can't even
recall seeing some of the odd striping ones that apparently go on Diver!
BTW, I did a test fit of Sky 1 into its usual spot, and it looks like I'm
gonna have to drill out the portside blast tube to make it fit! the left
rocket pod isn't fitting in straight, and the flaw is in the connection
point with Diver. So I have to go in there with a big bit to straighten out
the blast tube duct! And the hits just keep on comin'! 8-\

Who liked to go faster than light
He started one day
In a relative way
And came back the previous night!
