    Kingfisher OS2... Not going well

    Hi All, The Kingfisher OS2 is not going well. It seems everytime I pick it up I screw it up. I'm close to giving up on this one as a "bad lot". Perhaps I should just box it up and start something else and pick this one up again later on. Does anyone else have this problem???? or is it just...

    I just picked this kit up. Keil Kraft FOWLER CLASS 27 POUGHING ENGINE 1/72 for not very many pennies..

    Monogram Kingfisher OS2U

    Monogram Kingfisher OS2U - 1/48 Ok. Here we go. First look at this one and I think it's going to be a challenge. Sort of the "Silk Purse / Sows Ear" type thing.
