Strange that. It does look a very neat, circle. Looks as if it should be there but looking at photos it clearly isn't :rolling:

I’d say that is an ejector pin Mark as well Peter . It probably got jammed during moulding and hasn’t retracted. Easy fix though, just cement a bit of plastic card over the back and fill it smooth on the outside.

Didn’t realise that Peter, so that’s absolutely the right way to address it.

Good news all sorted airfix is sending out a spare
I only had to use it once, but I found Airfix to be very good about sending spares. Some years ago, I had an Fw 189 kit that had two sets of wing upper halves but no lower halves, and even though it wasn’t in the catalogue anymore, they sent me the correct halves free of charge.
