The Little World

And only where it touches, I might add.

The Roden curse is starting to take effect. The ambitions of the moulders will need to be matched with equal bravery by the builder. The fit of many of the parts is approximate.

This is surprising considering the more delicate parts like the landing gear struts seem to fit perfectly and offer adequate cementation surface. the major bits, on the other hand, are moulded by workers with different opinions.

The situation is not helped by the fact of the modularity of the plane. This could be a number of aircraft – civilian and military, and I see from the advertisements in the on-line shops that you can get just this variety. You pay for this versatility in the fuselage sections that need to line up, but don’t.

As with many of these kits, I find adequate fit where the most strength will be and resign myself to filling in gaps elsewhere. A moment’s reflection tells me that this is a kit best bought at a bargain price, and with no illusions.
