Sure was. Thanks again.
Now for the paint to set a couple of days while I'm out of town, then decals and dull coating.

I don't know if I ever did a thread on this additional step, but on my latest HoJo with built up fins I added an extra detail:
I sanded the leading and trailing edges flat and then used styrene cement to apply .100" half-round styrene strips to the edges.

While far from perfect, I am very happy with my first attempt at this technique. This now becomes the second best building tip I have learned from Jeffy.
