I agree. I've only built one kit since 1983 due to my problems being around glues (mainly CA), almost all the arfs I've built have had some sort of covering problem. This one was just exceptionally bad on the fuselage. It could have been caused by humidity, heat or cold encountered in shipping from wherever it came from. The quality control in parts shipment was one of the worst I'd seen also. It was missing a bunch of screws and had a bunch that didn't fit anything anywhere. I already had an unbuilt World Models Ultimate 40 and the wing jig from that helped a bunch. Other than the shortcomings listed here, It's a fine looking plane and flys well. I wouldn't be afraid to buy another NitroPlane model. A new buyer will have problems if he doesn't know where to find the full instructions.
