holy cow, thanks! Well, lots of thoughts cross my mind when I read this response. I do have an awesome airbrush-iwata CS which works like a champ! I actually picked up some micro krystal and can't wait to try it out on canopies. Upon your suggestion, picked up the loktite gel and will probably give this a go when needed. I have several liquid cements-tennax and platiweld but don't use them correctly. I seem tp really shy away from using too much glue and thats where my problem is-I get big gaps because there's no glue stuffed in there! I have a few 1/48 models coming in and now that my Son is a few months old-I'm becoming the "mcdonalds" of building- needing to build sometimes as fast as possible. Well, not that fast maybe medium but need to perfect the fries!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be leaving my IT career and raise my Son-stay at home Dad so in the eve, when my Wife comes home I'll jump right into the builds which she loves to see my do. BUT, now that the house is filling up will German war machines, mainly BF109's and Folke wolfs-more baby clothes are coming into the home with aeroplanes on the shirts! I'm starting to hang these planes on the ceiling. Hey, I'm going to start a thread so maybe under the topic of speed building!!!! Greg, you rock!!! Oh, I'll start posting my werks in the gallery along with my baby.

Just food for thought: We use the F-5E and F-5F as an agressor aircraft because it very closely models the MiG-21 in performance. That's why when Top Gun and Red Flag popped up in the late-Viet Nam era they started right out using F-5s. We used to use the A-4 because it was the closest resemblance to a MiG-17 (albeit a tad over in the thrust-to-weight category).

By the way, nice build Greg.
