I have been thinking of doing a mod to a kit since I bought it 10 ... 15 years ago -- did a profile of the idea at the time. So now that there's a "Bite Me" build on the go I will try to do it.
Don't get all excited just yet ... some of my builds have been known to last for 40 years !!

I hope not ;D

You will be gald to know that I have been very brave & made the first major cut – a difficult full width cut with the Dremel Buzzsaw. Actually I was very brave a second time when a second cut was made but quickly applied a band-aide to my thumb without crying. Then 3 more smaller cuts to sever the nose from the rest, glued it to the upper section & set it aside to dry.
Dug out the parts for a turret & modified them to fit the main section – will have to figure out a way for it to rotate or otherwise I’ll have to just glue it on solidly.
So now, I guess, is the time to open the instructions & see what I need to do from here.
Day Two – got stuck in & surprisingly managed to, except for paint, complete all the landing gear – luckily there wasn’t so many parts & the instructions were quite good.
Just picked up the instructions again & started scratching my head over the many, many small & miniature parts for the upper section ...

Oh, this sounds very promising. And the cut thumb? Good on ya!
1 - For not blubbing;
2 - Because Styrene, goddess of whiffing, appreciates all blood sacrifices :smiley:

Side planks added to the upper hull & trimmed the rear plate. Glued the said plate to the hull but found I had trimmed too much off in places but that’s easily fixed later. Now to join the upper & lower sections before starting on the dozens of superstructure additions.
My God ! So far this must be the fastest build I have ever done !!
