Tooling doesn't wear in that way, see Hendies series of posts elsewhere on the site. Both of us have spent many years working in injection moulding so know a little about the subject. 99.9%, maybe even 100% of defects in kits are caused by poor tool set up or condition setting, compounded by slack QA which should prevent sub standard runners reaching the customer. Nobody needs to bring up limited run kits, different animals altogether. Edited August 16, 2019 by spaddad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 canopy demasked and sadly, as feared, fumes on the inner side 🤬 my dad will remove the canopy and use either the multipart one ore the single piece one from the Italeri boxing of this kit DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Turned out it wasn´t fume on the inside but some kind of (paint)dust which my dad could remove and mount the canopy again. As usual EZ Line for the antenna wire. DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
