PE pains

Man, I’m building this Trumpeter SA-2 Guideline missile on transport trailer, it has been an excellent kit, great detail, 560 pieces, I’m almost finished with it, I’m on the next to last diagram and I have to construct this little curved railing out of 8 itty-bitty photo etched pieces, and it is the worst time I have had on this whole project, 552 pieces and no problem, this is just frustrating, photo-etched parts look nice but they sure can be a pain in the butt sometimes, oh well, on I trudge, just needed to vent.

Venting is good…The more you work with PE the easier it gets. It’s all about learning lessons on how to work with it. The pay off is worth the learning curve…hang in there!

I hear you, sometimes the PE seems to be not worth the pain, frustration and trouble. But, once you get it, it looks good.
Stick with it.
