Just picked Red 1 up from FedEx. I discovered upon unpacking that the model has sustained some minor damage. The nose cone was snapped off, despite the fitted shipping cradle.
I have glued the nose back on, but it will need some putty and paint work. Ben and I have devised a plan to get this sorted out and back to 100% in short order. Stuff happens, I guess.
Im going to remove the wings, glue and putty the nose back on, and ship it to Ben so he can repaint the nose section and blend it all in.
Great service on Ben’s part! I couldn’t ask for better! Thanks, my friend!
On the bright side, the pictures that have been posted of this model don’t do it justice. Ben outdid himself!!! It’s amazing (even without a nose)!!
Pictures after the repairs are made.
