[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Would have been great if Trumpeter made all the hatches separate pieces for static displays.

I've seen a Trumpeter test shot of a version of this kit with all missile hatches open.

David, why nitro-stan on the hatches?

Got that Xia-Kit still in the Box, too.

The two forward missile hatches were separate from the rest which were engraved. After glueing the two hatches flush with the deck I was compelled to re-scribe the hatch outline, which left a scared deck needing fill. Also, I actually drilled vent holes atop each missile hatch as that would be better looking than the lightly engraved circles provided on the kit part. Some of those needed filling. So... I said, what the hell, and puttied all the hatches for symmetries sake.
