Seeing that Testors F-19 brings back some weird memories of it being one of my first memories where a lack of knowledge/ability caused me to ruin something I really cared about. I was assembling the model using cyanoacrylate glue because, at eight years old, I was excited and didn't like waiting for the traditional solvent adhesives to cure (dry). When placing the canopy it predictably fogged up, as cyanoacrylate fuming develops fingerprints [1]. I didn't know about this before, and all I knew what I'd ruined one of the most visible parts of the model and I was really, really upset. My dad cut one for me out of plastic from a soda bottle, doing a great job of shaping it so it'd fit perfectly, but to me it just wasn't the original and wasn't just... right... So I never finished the model. [1]: https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/files/uploaded_files/forensics/For_supergluing.pdf https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/files/uploaded_files/for...
