Looks great! One question... Did you have issues with the top hull part mating with the two lower side hulls? I've seen this kit built by a few folks and there is a large noticable gap where these parts mate and doesn't look good compared to real thing. I have this kit but haven't begun yet and am a bit worried about this issue...
Thanks! To answer your question, YES i had a big problem with the top fitting AND the back plate. If you look, i had to do some filling, sanding and even with that the rear light has no room to breathe and the seams aren't perfect. I tabled it for a couple weeks, got frustrated and decided to finish it no matter how it looked because I had put so much time into it. All in all, despite the issues they're hardly noticeable once its all done and weathered at first glance. If you inspected it you can tell for sure, but on the shelf it looks great
There dont appear to be any indicator marks where to fit it exactly together, i spent a couple nights wondering where I went wrong, so try to identify where it should fit before hand. I spent a long time dry fitting and this was the best I could get
@ yeah it’s definitely an interesting challenge. What I know I did wrong was paining the outside before glueing and applying decals. I had faith I could make it fit so just wait on the decals on the outside :)
@malemodeler7 It looks like you did a good job. I built a lot of the dragon kits of this vehicle and had the same issues you did with this one. It's not easy due to the interior being so visible and having to paint the interior first. So I will attempt to glue the side lower hulls to the top hull first and then attach the entire upper hull to the chassis after I deal with the interior parts. It may not work but it's worth a try. Anyway, nice job.

@malemodeler7 it looks good. Way better than the others. I may try gluing together first...thanks!
