Replying to my own post: I'm not sure I can build this! I haven't done any 1/35th scale for about 40yrs, and the intervening yrs have not been kind to my eyes and dexterity.

I looked at the destructions and the sprue's. The tip of my scalpel is bigger than some of the bit's I need to fit together. Also kit's have become very detailed as well. No longer can I just slap them together and slap some paint on.
Proper thinking needed me thinks. To sell or to attempt to build. If I try to build and give up I wont get my money back if I sell on. Or cut my losses sell all together with the extra bits I've bought without opening any of the sprue bags.
Thoughts gentlemen please.
As per Northern Biff or start with the basic crew figures, just assemble torso etc, not their kit and work from there.Replying to my own post: I'm not sure I can build this! I haven't done any 1/35th scale for about 40yrs, and the intervening yrs have not been kind to my eyes and dexterity.

Same recommendation as made to @Dinger - get a 1/35 Tamiya PII tank. Easy to assemble. Not complex and you will have a nice model.Replying to my own post: I'm not sure I can build this!

As others have suggested maybe try something simpler if you feel you'd be more comfortable, but keep this one as the first brick in a stash for later that can take over your world.Replying to my own post: I'm not sure I can build this!

That's how they do it with the shoulder patches, too, isn't it, even today - the right arm patch appears backwards (or, as the flag would be seen if observing the pole from the north in a westerly wind)...?Interesting to see those P40Es displaying the Stars and Stripes, on both sides of the cockpit. The flag is also directional with the Stars to the front.
