"It was one of my favorite models to build as a kid."

Yea, that was fun. After you put the paper on it you would wet it. When it dried and shrunk it was ready for the paint. Cutting those pieces out of balsa wood was not easy. Loved the smell of Testors glue.

I nearly made the same comment in reply to the first post who referenced the model building. I can still smell that "aroma." Haha It explains a great deal...
