Hey Bro,

 

I am working on a similar kit. I liked the details of the kit but I am annoyed that HB did not have parts to cover up the gaping holes in the air intake and the rear undercarriage wells. They provided lots of detail in the rear undercarriage compartment including the shape of gas canisters but once installed these features are hidden. I wonder what is the purpose of making it so detailed for parts that would not be seen. The same goes for the pilot's seat. The back of the seats has good details but once fitted in, the details are hidden.  

 

I am puzzled that HB would spend effort on providing details to parts that are hidden and yet leave the air intake and undercarriage wells with gaping holes that can be seen from the outside. I have to fashion a wall to cover the undercarriage well (you can see right into the empty fuselage body) and buy aftermarket engine cone/fan blades to cover the gaping air intake (you can see down the inside of the empty airframe body).

 

What gives Hobby Boss?
