    You would definitely expect screws to line up with their respective holes. Hopefully it's only a minor issue.

      It’s looking good though John, even with the screw problems.

        Could be worth mentioning it to the maker. They might have machine issues. Also you might get a new part.
        You could also try talking to the shop where you purchased the kit in the first instance and hear what they recommend. :smiling::tongue-out3::tongue-out:

            I’m going away tomorrow until sometime in September so won’t be doing any more until I get back.

                    I did a little bit more, I’m stuck with putting the pipes on, someone said put them in warm water but that’s not really helped, it’s still on my desk so not back in the box yet

                      If you mean the fuel pipes John, I find a hairdryer helps to soften then enough (I'm just in the same process on a Tamiya 1/12 Lotus 78)
