This doesn't sound like your father's snap tite.

My son has been buying Bandai Gundam kits like Otis on a bender.

I have to say, they are some of the best engineered kits I've seen with high parts count in multiple color and materials. The reason why I mention it here is, they are entirely snap together.

I recommended gluing to him, but he didn't. Then I made one myself and they fit so well, they really don't need glue.

New 'press-fit' technology is nothing like the snap kits of yesteryear, so this probably is a great kit to build and most likely means the fit is superb.

All that said, I'd probably still run a dab here and there, especially the way I end up tormenting things in the spray booth.

Doesn't sound like MY snap tite!

I'm game, will grab one just to check it out.

Very curious about the "no glue, press fit"

Not really excited about yet another mustang kit though!

Well, I can never have too many Mustangs! I also wait for Airfix's rendition in this scale.
