Notice this doesn't seem to be in the latest Hobbyboss catalog

They've removed it from the list. It was not already in the CAD drawing. It should have been on this page. https://hobbyzero.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2023-2024-Catalogue-From-Hobbyboss-5.jpg

It's a pity that it never materialized. At the moment I'm building a KP D.510. The fit is poor (of course), and the panel lines look like they were done with a rusty nail, uneven. At some places the rusty nail has slipped and made deep scratches outside the line.

I feel your pain! I went back to the Heller kit, with a few bits added from the KP kit

Maybe I should do the same. This kit has very poor surface detail, even a lot worse than Admiral / AZ Devastator. 

[Mr T]

Having built the KP kit, which I thought was not made with long life moulds, I wonder if your kit is showing signs of damage and wear. Not the easiest kit I have ever made, but not a disaster. 

This was my build thread

 

[Dave Fleming]

I bought mine as soon as it came out (although no knowing how far down the production line that is)

My kit is the same boxing as the one mr T built. These imperfections look very strange, like cuts and small holes, never seen anything like that before. I'll decide what to do when my Šmer kit arrives. 

[Dave Fleming]

As is mine!

[Mr T]

That is strange as looking at my build the panel lines could be better in places, but no sign of cuts, nicks, or holes. It does really make me wonder if the mould was damaged during the production run. I am sure I read somewhere that 'short run' moulds used a form of resin, and the more than one mould was often made, as they deteriorated quite quickly. Some Merlin/Veeday kits had terrible surfaces, the TSR2 kit had bits of the mould on my kit.

Had another look at mine, and of course there are two fuselages in the kit - one is significantly better scribed than the other!
