Building this same kit at the moment and will use Microscale decals for "Coffey's Pot."

@Chilly Billy a nice choice as well👍. I started mine back in 2018, after some troubles with the kit decals it ended at the shelf of doom. After coming across the story of "Dottie Mae" which crashe in a lake about 60km from my home, I decided to give the Thunderbolt a second chance.

That's a cool. I always like it when modelers have a connection to their projects. In the case of Coffey's Pot, Robert Coffey grew up not far from where I live. He also attended the University of Pittsburgh, my alma mater.

Yes, it's always nice to build something with a bit of history in the back, especially when there is some connection to yourself.
