Graham it's too easy just to say it's rubbish or a bad kit,I absolutely refuse to go down that road. It isn't a bad kit,it's just showing its age a little. It's an old kit,the molds are a bit tired (hence the disparity in detail fuselage to wing) but I reckon anyone can build it into something looking pretty much like a Fairey Battle with a tiny bit of effort.
The accuracy issues that people were beating themselves up on the thread you mentioned are neither here nor there for me. I'm doing this for a bit of fun and there's no way I'm sawing the nose off to extend it by a couple of millimetres! I might pose mine in flight so I can have the rear canopy open along with the bomb doors so I really don't care if the propeller isn't up to some peoples standard as I'll leave it off lol!
Pictures?
Here's some of a rather grey looking Battle resplendent in its primer.
Cheers
