Well I’ve never built anything from Roden. But your results are excellent. Never would have known it was a terrible kit based off these photos. Not a subject you see a lot of either. Very cool!

What kinds of problems? Tons of flash, some parts not completely molded, some parts warped, very bad fit. Very deep scratches in the clear parts, possibly from not being separate from the other parts in the box. |

That seems to be a common theme amongst Roden kits. I’ve not heard many good things about ‘em BUT….. you sure turned this one into a show winner. Beautiful work throughout!

Man that’s a beautiful piece of work! If that Bird Dog fought you, one would never guess it from the final result.

Excellent looking result of a subpar sounding kit. Great work to achieve a wonderful end result!

Nice work, Clint. I've done several Roden kits and always like the result so far but it has not been without pain. The first thing I do is throw away the decals.
