Roden 1:144 Rivet Joint kit

[Flip]

Hi all,
I have just acquired the Roden 1:144 Rivet Joint kit and thought I would include a couple of pics for any prospective buyers.

The first one is to to with the wings. The trailing edge of all 4 wing roots are deformed and will need a bit of TLC...

The second is to do with the undercarriage doors...

Step 5 calls out parts 16 & 22 on Sprue F - they should be 19 & 22 on Sprue F
Step 6 calls out parts 16 & 22 on Sprue F - they should be 15 & 16 on Sprue F

Regards,
John

John,
perhaps you might like to do an in box review? There is a forum section for this https://www.scale-models.co.uk/forums/product-reviews.50/
A lot of modellers would like to see what they're getting, and an unbiased opinion of the presentation, sprues etc.

Dave,
I've never done one of those before. I'll take a look around the site to see the format and then have a go.
Remember to carry on breathing in the meantime...

We all have our own ideas on what OOB reviews should cover, have a look at the posts in that section, and maybe use one of those as a rough guide. The fact that you've spotted errors in the instructions means you're most of the way there! Sometimes doing one of these reviews can help in the construction - as can reading other modellers' reviews............... .
