I figured I'd start us off, I worked a good hour or so why the 4 year old was on the porch playing with Playdoh.
If the group so deems it, this can be stickied as the "offical" build thread
So here is some of my work for the day.
Not pictured, I worked on the pilot a little and the cockpit tub some. Test fit the nose section.
I would say, the kit is pretty good considering the molds are pushing 30 years old.
I did have some issues..my part nippers went missing, glued myself to the model about 3 times, my plastic weld somehow was left open (have idea who..and it wasn't me) and it all evaporated, broke the pin that the cockpit tub sits on (will still work, just makes test fitting kinda impossible now), but had a good time working on it.
Now onto working on the tub, putting the nose together, and seam and gap filling.
