I last made this kit about 40 years ago. Here we go again!

The fit of the two halves of the power plant is poor. A lot of sanding to be done.

The end plate requires a lot of filler & sanding too.

I guess MPC don't want us to use sprue cutters to get this part off then.

During production, a blob of molten plastic fell on the riders shoulder.

Not sure whether to call him Phil or Sandy. Cerainly needed lots of filler and sanding, that's for sure.

A test fit of the underside parts. The large box at the rear doesn't sit flat. The top cowling may be warped. Why not? Just about everything else is!

The inserts on either side of the main body are too thick. Much sanding & filling required here, too.
