What an Idiot I am

Post by kruno59 »

Guys,

I'm building the Hobby Boss J29- Tunnan.

When I go looking for sprue E to attach the bombs to the pylons I realize to my horror that I thew that sprue out last week thinking I had taken all the parts from it.

This is the first time I have thrown out a spue before the build ends and it had to be 8 pylons - now I'm left with 8 sets of holes in the wings.

What's to do.

J :(

You won't believe this - just found them stuck to a tape - I had completely forgotten that I had done that so that I could prime them

Think that makes me an even bigger idiot lol

Lots of T shirts tonight lol :) - you know what's great about this hobby is it's not difficult to build a model but it's something else to get through the whole build without making a mistake (well it is for me :)

Heck. I make mistakes all the time lol. I lost a wing section once. Found it in the garage. I Looked for it for about an hour and then I remembered I went out to grab some more acetone to clean the AB with and left it on the bench. Ya I felt dumb lol.
