I found the kit to be wanting when I built my example and looking at the sprue shots of the new Airfix model I think that it should be a breeze to build.

I've just got the new Airfix Higgins and it looks vastly better than the Heller re-boxing. Better parts fit and excellent instructions. The only downside is that there are now screw figures included.

Another auto-fill miracle here - are there "now screw" figures or "no crew" figures .... if the former, please check our FAQ before posting pictures :lol:

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Good Work on an not easy-to-assemble kit.
Me too wait for an Airfix New tool.
Sometimes the talent consists exactly in that: try five dozen times when others stop at three dozen...! (F.Labelle)
I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......
