The issues that were the most problematic with this kit were as follows:
Landing gear struts. You have to drill extra holes to ensure that the struts have a good anchor point as there are only one set of holes for one part of the gear assembly. There should be three.
Bulkheads. I would recommend sanding them or contouring them down some so the top cover of the fuselage fits better.
Horizontal stab. The tab fit is loose so use a good bonding cement to make sure it is square with the fuselage. I didn't and by the time I got back to the build they have already went their own way of setting up and not they are off square.
The engines. Make sure that the exhaust is spread wide enough so that they allow a firm connection between the back of the engine and the mounting surface on the wings and fuselage. If not then it will squeeze the whole assembly and separate the glue bond. On the last two issues I would recommend tube glue or a good CA.
AS it sits right now I just couldn't help not showing this build even though I have yet to put on the niggly bits. I have yet to install the gunners position, the antennas, oil coolers and generator. AS I have said before. I was after the look of what I thought in my mind's eye what one of these would look like and that this build is not an accurate representation of any one air craft. I hope that these pics are pleasing to you and I will have a better photo feature after all is done.
