RE: Building the Mick Reeves Hawker Hunter
Unfortunately there was some slight damage done during shipping. I discussed this with Mick and he said he'd pack things a bit different. You can see that for the fuselage, the damage was done by the way the box containing the pilot figure was packed on top of the fuselage, and some impact during shipping did the dirty deed. It looks worse that it really was though - the dents popped out to the original shape fairly well, and I just needed to repair one crack sideways across the nose, plus another crack along the fuselage upper-to-lower join.
The Fin former F11 was also broken in a couple of places, but was an easy fix.
