hi, I hope jeffQ can read this because it's my very first reply. I been reading and browsing this forums for years (10 years maybe more) and became a member recently and this post may be dead but I like to realy thank jeffQ for inspiring me... for months (8 months or so!) I been wanting to try to make a tranforming kit from the hasegawa models, mainly because the yamato kit's are way off the range of my wallet but now I have a much more clear Idea of how to do that.. So all I can say is thank you Jeff I Hope you're still around to read this!
