This model is going together nicely and quite fast by my standards, so far I can't really fault the kit which makes a nice change.

The only exception to that statement is the cylinder pivot installations. Air brakes, doors and front hatches were obviously done by some minion in the factory as the ply ram pivots are not equal on any of them. You can see in the pic that the air brake pivots on the main spar outer tube are a good 1/2" out and the brakes don't open half as far as they should. the hatch pivots likewise but they operate ok, One of the main doors is out a little on the offset hinges and the inner part hits the fuselage bottom when open but not too serious.
