For being 2015 tool the fit of the parts is quite awful, there is a fair amount of flash and even errors in the parts preventing assembly. For example parts B6 and B7 will need to have some of their internal structure cut off. There are also missing part numbers and wrong part numbers in the instructions.

Damn.. I'm sorry to hear this cause i'm looking forward to build this kit and its quite expensive.. And yet, there are errors? Sadly..

so far everything has been fixable, but far from a perfect kit. Mostly finished with my build. So far the erros in the parts have been only the B6 and B7, in the instructions in one of the radar dishes parts D50 and D52 are the wrong way around (different length rod pieces). Mostly just lot of filler and sanding.

At least it isn't as horrible as panda's Tunguska that I started way back and probably will never finish...

Hopefully the last error in the kit: parts D1 need some knife-work so that they fit to E4/E5 and E14/E15. The D1 is pretty much hidden anyway...
