144:1? That is going to be one big model!

Good luck with it. One of these days I would like to get in to model building. One of these days....
9681.12 meters. I suppose they could build a pier out to the shelf for it in Hawaii. The draft is gonna be a bit much, methinks.

Anyway, just started on it last night by opening up the free flood vents with my Dremmel.

I'm leery about opening up the lower MBT vents. It'll make those areas quite thin, and my thick irish fingers will crush it for sure.

I may drill those out if I can find a bit that incredibly small. Hmm.... hot wire perhaps?

Sorry for thinking out loud... Pics tomorrow or Friday.

EDIT: Added a link to my build pics in the first post.
