I started this kit thinking it would be a reasonable kit, not your Dragon or Tristar but it would be OK. It would be built out of the box with all its inaccuracies and clunky parts and having built a few italeri kits over the years it shouldn't be too bad. How wrong can you be. It has been a fight all the way. My advice to anyone who is thinking of building one is this. Spend the extra money on the Dragon or Tristar kit and if you have one of these in your stash, sell it as quickly as you can or be prepared to lose your hair as well as your sanity. Oh and invest in lots of filler.
I decided I would like the hatches to be open as you get a bit of an interior so painted it up as per the instructions.
The problem arises when you come to fit the spare track holder along with the track in stage 14 of the instructions.The track is too wide and over hangs the hatch opening. So don't bother just glue the hatches shut. Well enough moaning for now time to do some sticking. I will win......
