So, I don't know if it's just my own lack of skill (I haven't really built any models in the last 5-6 years) or what, but I'm getting very discouraged building the NX-01.
How far is everyone going with theirs to try and fix all the little fit and finish issues? For example, the rear of the nacelles have a pretty intricate ribbing pattern. With my kits (I bought 2), the ribs just don't line up very well. Some on them are OK, but others are off almost a whole 1mm. Also, where the pylon attaches to the nacelle doesn't work very good - there are huge seams. On the saucer, the middle sections where the individual pieces go doesn't look very good either.
None of these details show up very well in the pictures people have posted of thier finished NX-01. So I ask, how is everyone dealing with these issues?
The last few kits I built were some of the Tamiya motorcycle kits, and I don't remember having this difficult a time with them.
Any suggestions or ???
Thanks.
