Lol true enough SMAddict (Phil). For a 1973 tooled kit it's not to bad imo. The fit reminds me of trying to find 3rd gear in an old Morris marina hatchback. Woggle it around enough and eventually it will slot in with a bit of a grinding noise.
It's the flash that gets me really. So much time spent cleaning up bits. Mind to be honest I have seen worse.
These old Airfix kits are a test in there own right but strangely satisfying if they go right.

Looking very smart Sir. I remember this kit from childhood, even down to the red spinner.

Top drawer so far!

Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good.
