great bargain,Bob,I have built a couple of these,s ,and unlike Patrick,did not get
the ejection pin marks,maybe there was a bad run of them at some stage,:rolleyes:
you should enjoy this one,:D
So far so good, got the hull built. There was a lot of flash and/or seams on almost every part. The suspension arms alone took almost 30 mi utes to clean up.
Not what I would expect from a Trumpeter kit. I have yet to build one, but have bought about ten, and I havn't noticed any flash to speak of on those. Is it likely this was merely a bad batch, or is flash and mold lines to be expected on Trumpeter's kits?
Yep, something along those lines.
Out of interest (if you remember) the part that sits to the side of the drivers periscope is shown in the instructions as sitting in a little slot. However there isn't a slot on the kit. Did you just glue it in the right position or did yours have the slot?
