Thank you ALL for your comments and questions.
There seems to be a consensus question...what is the kit like!
Locating areas are kind of vague in places and as you are putting things together you aren't quite sure it's all going to fit. It's not WNW
But it does...with a little work...and all lines up well. The engine mounting is an example. As you put it in you are not sure it's really going to match up. But my Vickers is shooting through the correct hole, nothing is crooked and it all looks suitably busy even without additions as a great OOB kit. I only redefined and widened a few holes to make things positive.
The bottom wing attachment, for example, worked great and I was worrying about that. The landing gear struts locate the wing in general and then you add the supporting struts with little heart ache.
My only criticisms so far are that the fuselage fits together but you need to be careful since there isn't much glue surface and things can slide around on you. I needed quite a lot of correction fluid (a first for me...works great) for both the upper and lower seams. All the cockpit parts fit in well and are straight. No unusual clamping for force was necessary but the control column doesn't have a spade grip. I'm not sure what that means
Lastly, the tails have positive locating pins but they are very small and since the stabilizer is in two pieces, I had trouble getting it all square. Still a bit wonky if you look at it on a contest table.
I have to say it goes together better than their SSW cockpit/lower wing area!
Well done, Roden.
