I know what you mean steve some time ago I built Airfix lynx HM8 and I had massive gaps of upto 2mm in the body and told everyone on here about only to find out quite acew on here had built the same kit and it was a really good fit so it just goes to show its not always the manufacturers

Or it is just you getting crummy fit kits? Just a thought...

Si

Now I know. Why the bloke in the shop always smiles. When I walk in, I always thought it was because I spend a bit now I know it's so he can unload all the doggy kits that have been returned or seconds lol

Well you were lucky Alan I built the Revell. I learnt all my put it right skills that I might have on that. The engine nacelles were a menace to put together let alone fitting correctly.

Very nice model and all problems solved.

Excellent end result Alan, nicely painted too.

Looking at your pictures a second time, anyone who has Lurpak and Daddies Brown Sauce has to be doing something right!!

Well done Alan you can't see that there as been any fitting issues at all so a great job doodab heading your way

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I appreciate it

Papa there are some tiny variations I couldn't deal with , if I'd filed them it would have removed detail but they are small and you have look closely

 

[Dave W]

That's a really nice build.Ive got the Tamiya mkIV bomber version in my stash which I hope to get round to building soon.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Dave I appreciate it

Nice one. Yes, the Revell kit I've built that one as well. It's OK, bit Tamiya cost more for a good reason.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Colin I agree , I know I had problems with this kit but I know that's not the norm and people on here have built this kit so I know it's a one off

You get what you pay for
