    I have been going through a similar nightmare with mine Peter. I hope you don't bin this one off, it's far too nice a model and completely doable. Maybe rest it for a couple of days, get yourself a cup of tea and a ginger nut biscuit and then come back to it refreshed and ready for the challenge. Good luck.

      Trouble with a big kit with small gaps is careful and precise application of filler. But those 'steps' on the leading edge wing root are, odd

      And the cockput came together so nicely, though it sounds lie the precision of the fit could be off

      A brand new (2023) kit where the fit is off? Curious

          Looking good Peter, you can deal with those gaps and mis-fits easily. Not ideal for a modern kit release, but certainly salvageable with your skills

            You know, there are a lot of ultra-modern CAD kits with such fine tolerances, they don't fit together with a coat of paint in the way, but this still makes me wonder

            It does look good together though. Mostly! Do not be deterred!
