Default RE: Composite Bobcat paint finish

ORIGINAL: Worzey

I've just started putting together a Comp BC and after fitting the servo hatches to all surfaces, I noticed that the paint lines on the top and bottom of the wing panels do not match at the leading/trailing edges.
BV tells me "these are assembled by humans and we all make mistakes. Unforunately you are in the UK and we are in the States. What do you want me to do about it?" He then says that if I return them to him they will probably get damaged in the post.
Now then, I know and evryone else knows that BVM products are not the cheapest, but they are of very high quality. Surely this quality should be extended to ensure that the finish on the model is correct?
Has anybody else got a "Navy" scheme BC where the orange panels on the top/bottom of the wings does not match up at the leading/trailing edges??
My NAVY scheme Bobcat is typo'd. It just says "NAV ". The original owner didn't realize it until he traded it to me. I understand wanting to have a perfect paint, but I'm more concerned with the structure than the color. You can touch that up if it really gets to you. I'm not gonna get OCD over it, though. You're right. it's not going to matter at 100+.
