I need to do something with out window holes. I tossed the L1011 fuselage and will try to find a replacement, it stressed me out to the point I wanted to take a permanent break from 60 years of modelling. I cooled down and may try someday, MAY try someday. I think the window holes were right as I counted each one from pictures. Sooooo off I go …rant off and move on.org. This kit looks buildable and has ZERO windows! It should be here next week. Rant off.

I added 20 grams to the nose, 14 grams one side and 6 grams in other side.

Fuselage went together flawlessly, no gaps. The KC-135s were a bit smaller than their early family members 707. I believe that Boeing designated them 717 NOT 707.
