I like Rule 5  :D   Rules out my Black Prince and VC-10 tho   :(

A380 and Mirage 4000 it is!


BTW, I already have a Dremel (never used in 6 years).  Is their an alternate prize for me when I win?  :P

Cocky son of a gun, no?  You mean to tell me that you don't use your dremel????

I tried using the sanding thing once, and it sanded so fast it gouged a big dip in the plastic.  And thats it.  Thankfully, it came free with a drill, so I didn't waste any money on it.

Remember, I'm just a bog-standard kit assembler, sadly lacking the creativity, imagination and talent of the likes of you and Baz.  There's a reason why you're a proffessional artist and I'm a lab tech!  :P
