Why is my finger more sticky to glue than the plastic?

Armor and especially tanks are not my norm but I had to kill some time due to shipping delays so I picked up this little guy at Hobbytown last Friday. I had no plan on sharing this but I was so impressed by what I got for my money that I wanted to pass it on. I paid under $30 for this kit and in this day and age just finding a kit for that price and it not being complete garbage is a rare feat. Not only that this little guy has outstanding detail, 4 paint/decal options, a nearly full interior {except engine], rubber and link tracks options and a bunch of accessories. All of this with zero flashing and a nearly perfect fit. It took a day to build and a day to paint. Great for a weekend or just getting started.

Hope you all like it and thanks for letting me share it.

Especially given the speed you built and painted it. I would believe that it took you months; it looks that great!
