AFV Club (Skybow) M38A1

Album info
This (The AFV Club one) was really a pretty delightful model with only one real glitch. Either the tub or the frame was in some way warped just a little, so I had a heck of a time clamping it enough to get the frame to stay where it should be against the tub while the cement cured. Over time, the stress will cause some "creep" in the styrene and all will be well.
Oh, yes. Also... the tiny hood clamps. I very carefully dropped them into a tiny glass jar for safekeeping, but I didn't actually hear the second one land in the jar. I dumped out the jar to verify (it also contained my gas can, among other things)... and only one hood clamp came out. I got down on my hands and knees with a flashlight and dug through the black rug under my build table... and finally sighed and gave up. It seemed too small to replicate from a section of sprue... but maybe on a better day. I put everything back in the jar along with my wipers and went off to mope.
The next day, I opened the jar to get my wipers... and there were two hood clamps in there, one clinging to the wall of the jar due to static electricity. It had lodged there against the wall the whole dang time. Tenacious, static and these tiny bits of plastic.
