If the molds were newer then there wouldn't be any issues. This kit is from the old molds and I have some issues. It could just be me but there are fit issues. Where you see the white putty at there was a major step there between the front half and back half. No matter how I lined it up there was that step. Also where the bottom of the wing inserts into the upper fuselage didn't fit all that well. It was slightly warped and I did not catch it until the glue had set. Just like all their 1/72nd kits the engraved panel lines are very shallow. All I can say is take it slow and easy when building it. I have one more of these in the stash and when I build it and if I remember. I am going to try and un warp and change the fit in areas with a hot water soak and adjustment. I do not know if that will work or not but will be trying it!
