I have attained batteries. Test successful, time to close it out the easy win and get back to the solder station. Among other things.
No hitches to finishing; the most annoying thing was probably separating the teeny-tiny coils for the frontmost legs. There were a few minor things to improve, starting with a little CA to seal the wings against separation. The mold lines weren’t bad, but inevitably the clipped spot are going to leave bald patches in the painted edges. Was a good exercise in color matching – came out pretty spot on if I do say so myself. Tried not to go too crazy with the touch-ups, as the mass produced paint job wasn’t that great to begin with. I do not want to end up repainting the whole thing. Not tonight anyway; who knows what tomorrow will bring.
