Thanks Cookie,

Brandon, the mould for this is the heller mould.. It has some bad fit issues.
The entire port side rear is a mix of putty and Mr surfacer.

Oh.. and ever seen plastic with a skin condition? I have.. I have never seen plastic peel as such like skin lol

Is airfix going to stop using there old moulds? I hate opening a kit to find rivets everywhere

I doubt it, not until they produce new ones to replace.. some of the older moulds are good..

Just some are way over used now.

I have the airfix 1/72 P-39Q,I'm afraid to build it because I hate sanding putty,but it might fit well.
