I feel the struggle, Mike, but I know you’ll power through. There is a fascinating factory tour of Academy online if you ever wanted to know exactly where and how they fabricate their kits. The tour does include their test build process as well as the final painted results. If interested I’ll post up a link.
I've seen that. It was really cool!
