While I was successful in completing my TA 152 as you have seen, It was a PCK kit, and it was completed through sure will and due diligence. Almost all the parts were replaced.
I think we all have had our history with the typical old school kits, but to pay a lot of money, for a modern laser cut kit, and have it as bad as the one I received, (like your IMP) it is really inexcusable. The only recourse really is to steer fellow modelers clear of these manufacturers.
I bet in some ways, putting your bandsaw to such use made you feel a little better!
