LOVE the Video!!! and Glad you like the kit!! We should have a page to share Build tips!!

OH Man! I would never turn away a studio prop mold cast by Frank Cerney! Especially since it's from molds made by Dave Jones!!! THE DAVE JONES! A MAN WHO HAD A JOB I COULD ONLY DREAM OF HAVING! Rest in Piece Dave, you are missed by those of us who knew you were behind the scenes! If only I was living in the region where I could have been in the right time and the right place. I feel the same way about MPC model kits. As model companies do, MPC is a lot less accurate nor fastidious about model cleanliness and detail, unlike kits like Revel/Monogram or Tamiya. The one thing about MPC models which is a bonus, is the plastic is a lot more forgiving than resin towards types of glue used. The Glue you need to use for Resin needs to be a bit more harsh than for plastic. One building tip I offer to anyone with low experience with resin models for the serious glue I have used for Resin kits the best way to ensure the good grip on the resin, is to use a mildly abrasive household cleaner called Vim. It has a very fine pumice in it that allows you to clean the parts of their release agent and very gently abrade the surface to allow the glue to have more grip, and with some resin molds I have gotten the surface was too shiny smooth for the look I was going for so I used the Vim to clean the whole model and it worked great for the overall look I was going for. In a pinch some regular non-gel toothpaste would do the trick too. Thanks for sharing the unboxing of the "grail" item Ultimate Pyro X-wing! It's beautiful! And very big!

I'd definitely light this one, do it justice and go full bore studio on it even if it takes years. Do it for Porkins man!!! Congratulations on picking one up.
