Attempt to push side at bottom out to get better fit of the base section

A builds of firsts, my first Helicopter and first use of 3D decals. Turns out the kit was originally a HobbyBoss kit and looks great nice details and combination of fine panel lines and rivets where need, I have high hopes for this build. 🤞

Cheers #Villiers, the 3d decals are fantastic and really elevate the tubs to a new level.
First real issue with the kit is the fit of the main body, it does not want to join easily and I can find a cause but most can be fixed by gluing a small section at a time and working down the body.
However the bottom section is far too narrow for the kit bottom part, creating large hangovers. This may suggest the bandy has a warp in it but this is modelling not assembly.
I've added a stretcher of sprue to force the side apart hopefully this will help and not cause more issues later.

Another sort of issue although a little troublesome rather than true issue.
The instruction contain a couple of templates for both inner and outer glass masks (a great idea I wish more kits had). However they are way under scale, I resorted to old skool and used Tamiya tape and fresh blade with bright light behind (phone light 😁) and cut my own.
While right this it occurs to me they may be 1/72 scale and were not rescaled to 1/48 will check later.

Great spot #Jens J it is indeed Special Hobby plastic, my apologies to both Special Hobby and HobbyBoss for the confusion.
Just completed a HobbyBoss and had them on my mind, this would be an excuse if the sprues where not so well labeled 🤪

Cheers mate. Ah, the usual John. Eduardargh frustrating, over complicated, instructions random at.best (I'm reasonably intelligent, but Cheez) i.e. interior parts that need fitting roundabout cockpit build, four pages towards the back. It was a good looking 109 F too that's one of the frustrating things. And then there's me if it gets to the point were it's not going right then it gets binned. To date I've only completed one Eduardargh kit, the Fw190 A8/R2 and that was a bugga'

Ah, the classic Eduard fiddly bits. They do seem to have more of those than other kit brands (has anyone ever actually finished a "weekend edition" in a weekend?). No doubt they look good but dealing with it all can rapidly deplete the precious mojo if you're not in the mood. Tamiya-gawa seems to be the sweet spot of decent fit, acceptable detail and looks "good enuf" when finished. I like to detail as much as the next plastic fanatic but sometimes it's nice to reset by bashing one together and getting to the good part, painting!

Agree John. Exasperation seems to kick in, that Fw 190 was a weekend build that went on far too long. I find with any kit, detailing in the cockpit seems to get lost on close up. I tend now to dry fit see what can be seen and work from there. Mind you I've had fit issues (minimal though) with Tamiya and Hasegawa due to the age of the kit, but overcome in less time it takes to apply photo etch. The frustrating thing with Eddie is the kits look good it is the depletion of enthusiasm as you build it and they do look good on completion. Enuff' misery. Happy Modelling my Mate.

Agreed mate, I've got the others in the stash too, i.e. P-47 & P-51. Thanks for the like too.

Nothing more frustrating than airbrush hassles due to paint.
Tamiya/MrHobby is great but the color range issue, yeah.
Check these mixes out though, they're pretty close.

Cheers Aman. I wouldn't if I were you. The chances are, it maybe inaccurate, things break off, you shout at the cat, dog, wife, wall, kit, daughter, yer mate, yer mates cat, anyone/thing within earshot through frustration and ineptitude. Finally collapsing to the floor crying "I could of been a Verlinden, if only I'd started at three years old" 🤟🥸👍🤣🤘🤣🖖
