Let me know what scheme you're doing Lyle - I can suggest some colours!

Honestly, I’m not sure. I’ll study on and give you a note.

A power washer?

It was close this morning.....about one deep breath from the hammer being applied. Well, not really, but close. This has to be the most ill-fitting kit I've messed with, over the Williams Bro and the Czech Models kits. Alignment pins don't, etc. Test / dry fitting doesn't help much as you cant really tell where it is off. At least I could not.

I got the wing halves together, barely. Don't think you should have to use Duck Tape to hold things in place! Now, I get to go around the seams and apply some CA.

That must be the first time ever I see duck tape used in a build!

a first for me, as well! It was pulling the Frog tape and letting the gaps open...I trimmed the "engines" to fit better, but I don't think they were meant to fit in the wing! This is on the wings, but the other assemblies has some of the same issues, too. I expected a lot more from this kit. A whole lot more.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with that old MB kit - I've never built one so I can't comment on the fit, although I'm surprised it's that bad. That being said, I have heard about the joy's of the intakes from others.

That and the way the molded it...the sprue attach points are a mm or two from the sprue tree. Some are right up against the part with clunky nubs left. I hate clunky nubs.
