Just buy 2

If you want to spend an evening muttering, "Damit" under your breath, get this kit or better yet just get 2 because you will need to try again.
From the brace that you'll misalign and snap to the transfers that youll get stuck on the fuselage. This build is challenging from start to finish. The reason I cant call myself a master builder yet is because my Aquarious has an off-center fuselage in the middle section that mocks me.
I will however make a second attempt and when that one comes out perfect I will take my flawed first attempt and I will shoot that MF'er into the stratosphere!!!
