X Wing Flyboy Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Never has there been a kit that has near hit the bin more times than this. It's survived more temper fits than my old Land Rover ever dreamed possible. Simply, nothing fits, everything simply does not fit to the things they are supposed to fit too without major foul language and surgery. The instructions are horrid and lend to making mistakes such as the landing gear covers being in the wrong place (a mistake only noticed after a few weeks of completing it) and other things such as decal placement. A dog of a kit that was painted in Vallejo Air, glossed in Johnsons klear, Gunze setter and softer was used on the INCREDIBLY fragile decals and then covered in Winsor and Newton matt coat. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
