The issue with the nozzle seems to vary by individual kit. Mine was fine while others are like Nick's. Wonder what happened.

This was the first kit in this scale I had tried in years due to gathering everything at minimal cost. Much regret... Thanks much! Unfortunately that was the case here - tiny parts I couldn't grip with tweezers to save myself. John

I've recorded my trials and tribulations with the Special Hobby Boston IIIa in 1/72. This kit lingered on my bench for way too long, and this was my attempt at getting it done: Get Off My Bench! Please let me know what you think! John

Since I don't know, did you contact sophialynm@gmail.com ? I've had good experience using that email. John

Ok John - take a deep breath and try not to internalize words on the screen.

I think the biggest flaw in the kit is the split fuselage - the belly needs reinforcement to keep its shape - a better design in my opinion would have been a three piece fuselage consisting of a solid lower and two upper halves. Like other KH kits there are a couple of issues raised about accuracy in spots, but I'm very happy with mine. Honestly I might go back in for
