Poor quality kit - or just me? Help!

Hi
Returned to modelling after an absence of decades, so consider myself very much a newbie. My first kit after returning was a Tamiya, great kit, with great instructions an the build was great. For my second I purchased an Airfix 1:48 Sea Harrier FRS.1. After fitting the wings I noticed the front edge of the wing seems to protrude past the detailing on the body by a very noticeable 3mm. There is only one way to fit the wings so I am pretty certain I haven't done anything wrong. I certainly don't mind having to use filler on the odd gap but this seems way off. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, Dylan
