Hi guys, this is my very first post here at rcu, but I've been doing some reading and I've learned a lot already. I'm sure glad I found you all, I can see that there's enough old hands here to make this a treasure of knowledge.

Now that I've got you buttered up, I'll get into the reson for this post. I'm building my first kit, a Tiger 60, and I already have a rookie question. At least some of the parts in this kit are just a little too small to make a good fit when I pin them onto the drawing, especially if there's 3 or 4 parts together, like the braces up the center of the horizintal stab.Should I use a shim tobring things into line when they're pinned to the drawing? Does it matter?

Thanks in advance,and I know I'll have other basic questions as I go. I'm looking to learn a lot by doing this project, rather than just buying and ARF.
