Given the inherent shrinkage / size issues with resin, I find it a very odd decision to cast the entire fuselage unless they have corrected other features too, but if that were the case I'd expect they would have got the underside of the cowl right. Oh well, an option to consider, but I'd be inclined to cut the fairing off the resin fuselage and fit it to the original kit fuselage with corrected planking (wouldn't be too hard to sand back and lay thin strips of styrene in).

I bought the kit and there is no shrinkage of the resin
I think that the solution of having the entire fuselage halves cast in one piece and not simply an add-on humpback is the winning one, since no messing is left to the modeller (ie - no misaligned hump, no sanding of the seam between the hump and the fuselage and so on)

Now I ask what is left to change here?






I add a photo, just in case...

Asking to the experts and Bo, since I do not have a deep knowledge about Albatros D V
