I have been building one for ages now (I don't get much time). The detail is nice, but it's a pig of a kit! Plastic is warped, nothing fits and I appear to have 4 lots of track, some in the main plastic and some other 'softer' plastic..
Not built one but I have been driven nuts by plastic lol. Are you going to post some pics? We all love to see what others are doing, just nosey I suppose :-)
Mmmm, that does look a bit warped doesn't it. Will it press down without too much stress on the front? If so, plenty of liquid cement and rubber bands are called for. If it is going to bend or stress the part, I would try to re shape it a bit first with some gentle heat from a hair dryer.
The base was a U shape. I manged to get that straight after a few days and sticking it bit by bit. It's more all the other parts that 'don't quite fit' and need shaving to go into holes, gaps etc.
I think the top will drop down fine. Checking the front now it's stuck well and doesn't move when I push the back down.
My mate picked the same kit from model shop in a sale it was £6.99, he tried it for about an hour to work it out then gave up. Shame realy but hope you pull it through.
I had the same problem with Eastern Express kit of a KV-1. I ended up using it as "practice" kit for some new techniques. I wonder if E E and Revell share the same molds?
Cool it would be interesting if you did a step by step to the build if you encounter any other problematic bits as this will help me when i come to do mine. keep on truckin
peace out
