dmthamade Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Really odd for a mainstream kit to have fit issues like your having, pics show nothing out of the ordinary that you've done assembly wise. Like others have said, sometimes a kit is off due to reasons out of your control. Great that you're finding solutions to the problems. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Joel it looks like your kit might have gotten warm and Warped Or was pulled from the dies too quickly and there was some slump in the plastic Especially if the lower wing section was in towards the center of the mold Guys, I'm not sure either as to the reasons why, but the end results are sure evident. Compare my pictures to Brian's and it's like two different sets of molds were used. Moving on, and hopefully things will get better. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Don, Unfortunately, not so much so from the few KH kits I've tried to build in the past. Following build threads here, the quality of the KH kits has gotten better, but the engineering is still off in wackyland. What they do makes literally no sense other then create as many pcs as possible regardless of the fit issues that are a direct result of that philosophy. KH's best quality as far as I'm concerned is their choice of subject matter that keeps me coming back despite knowing better. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Bryan, Thanks buddy for the vote of confidence on this fix. I lucked out this time. Sure hope the rest of the build doesn't have this kind of surprises waiting for me.
