I agree with everyone who congratulates you for the tenacity, dedication, skill and creativity that youhave shown in bringing this model “back from the dead”. You’ve certainly shown us boys a thing or two about the fairer sex, lol!
Quite a nice model you’ve made. It’s one to be proud of, for sure, and I agree that when you get a new kit that you can start from the beginning, it will be a real treat to watch your skills in action.
I am not sure if this post is still live but I will give it a go.
I have just come across this website (only registered to leave a comment but everyone seem really cool so wish I had found it sooner) researching an old kit the same peterbilt black widow, I was given in about 1988 - 1990 ish and have just found way back in storage, I was having a sort out!
I was umming and arguing whether I should have a crack at it and having seen your example have decided to go for it.
I agree with all of the nice things people have said and having not built a kit since I was about 18-20 years old feel confident your skill level is above my own.
Anyway just wanted to say that.
Also if any of the other modelers are still about, I congratulate you on your feedback and hello.
