Thanks guys.. I think I already described on britmodeller..
For a new tool it is surprisingly uncooperative. Trailing edges are thick and uneven, and by fixing it you ruin the fit of everything else - wing ends, intakes, tail booms. Also wing-fuselage fit isn't too good. There are shape issues as well (I described them on BM too). Overall, nothing really difficult, just don't expect Tamiya. This is one of the first MPM kits with 3D modelling and steel tools and they still have to refine it a bit. It's still better than Dragon or rescribing Revell/Heller. Probably best Vampire in plastic..but that's rather given by the lousy competition..
