That will all have an effect on how well the cowls fit. That latter bit is possibly the most contentious, but patience needs to be the order of the day.
Thanks for the info...I think Fermis did the 72nd version a while back w/ the same markings, but I have read that there is some debate as to werther or not the shark's mouth was in greys or had color...I personally like the color in it, regardless...Very nice build...

I have the 72nd kit and it looks cherry in the box so I suspect this kit is equally impressive.

Seriously, give this kit a try. It's a lesson in patience, more than anything. My next will have invasion stripes!
