Yup, I am building the same model as Mo. Gonna be the same scheme as well, lol.

For a $90 kit, you would think the fit would be non problematic. I have putty, sanded and repeated that I am tired of it. Enough is enough and will be painting soon. I as well ran into the fuselages canted and took some force to make them lean towards the center. Then the alignment all went down hill from there. The problems that I ran into this one is really going to make me think twice about building a 2nd one. And they are going to release a different version in the future.

So, it's not just a one-off problem with Mo's plane either. Problem with the kit!

Looks good so far though!
 
Done with this POS kit. Not even remotely close to the $90 I spent for it. With the wing warp and body alignment BS both my wings broke on the outside of the fuesealge. I was going to put the rockets on it, was supposed to have 5 for each side, but you could only realistically get 3 on their rail. There was no room at all for the other 2 without major interference. The pe exhaust they use is just a joke in itself. Does not fit for crap, Resin2detail makes a nice replacement exhaust that Mo is getting for his.

Tom Cleaver over at Modeling Madness has a great build review on the kit and I ran into ever single issue that he did.

Really disappointed in this new tool F-82 and it will be a while before I try to build another one.


I wonder if these manufactures even build the kits they make. I guess long as they look good on paper and the CAD programs, we good to go.

An interesting build to say the least. The finish really turned out well and I am sure it is a bit on the impressive side.

Was there any kind of spar in the wings?
