Has anyone built the Hanger 9 B-25? I'm in the middle of building one and I am finding miss-fitted parts everywhere. The top engine nacelles are the worse. The airfoils don't match the wing at all. One nacelle is shorter than the other by an 1/8 of an inch. The so-called finished wing is squared on the trailing edges. There's no taper to the trailing edges on any of the wing or stab parts. It's like this was tossed together as cheap as they could. I've already had to recover one inner wing panel because of these miss-fitting engine nacelles. I looked at Topflight's version and found almost the same kind of problems. This is only my second ARF, the first being a Hanger 9 Piper Cub. The Cub looks great.
Am I being too picky?
Thanks

There's a pretty big thread on here re this airplane. Maybe in the Warbirds forum, not sure.
I'm finishing up mine now. Haven't been particularly impressed with either parts fit or engineering. We have three of them flying at the club I belong to and they fly great.
Good luck on yours.
