Glad I can be of at least some assistance
I didn't really bother too much with correcting issues. I probably should have put a little more into it but I did to some minor reshaping as noted in my thread. All in all the kit wasn't that bad. and a HECK of a lot better than Revell's Missouri kit.
As far as build planning. That is probably better asked of somebody else as I need help in that area as well. Plastic kits usually come with a set of instructions with a sequence of assembly, but i've found that it's not always best to do it that way. Others can probably be of better help with that answer. but some people i've seen nearly assemble the entire kit before starting to paint. (mostly on resin stuff though).
Hopefully after a few more kits i'll start adding some better details, such as more accurate rigging (I still have yet to add rigging to Arizona). I just need to work on my general skills such as the actual painting, trimming, filling, gluing, etc.
