G'day.
Just back from a trip up to the Snowy Mountains (Berridale), to visit a mate and saw your responses.
Rags, Dave and Scott, the wing didn't look badly moulded, warped nor short-shot. In fact there's been very little flash and the detail on the parts has been nice and crisp. But as you can see, that join would have given a fairly nasty step without the shims.
Perhaps the wing and fuselage were at opposite ends of the tolerances you can get in injection moulder kits?
Cheers.
Dal.
PS Patrick, styrene strip, rod and card in various thicknesses is a must, mate. You'll be surprised at how many taks you use it for. And as Ernie says, using it to make shims so you can fill gaps saves a lot of work.
