I've Always heard if you build'em tail-heavy, not good.
My old man used to say 1 gram at the tail equals 10 at the nose...
Don't know if all this hocus pocus is true, I'm trying to get the lightest ship possible and truth is, I've Always f#@* up at the finishing, adding too much stuff in the search for a great look...
I might consider the concept "Rat Rod" for this ship, like no painting, only details and clear....
<My friend Marlus has offered to teach me some basic concepts, so I can go on from there, but I know he's very, very busy, and don't want to bother him.
The idea is that practice makes perfection, so I have saved 2 models to paint before I actually paint this one, they'll give me some practice and if I screw up, I'll do with one of those, my son's ARF Nobler and one ARF Pathfinder, the covering simply came off...
I see Derek, Robert, and the others do it and get amped up to do so too.
Soon I'll be moving this thread to finishing and then, well, then is then...
