I think the tolerances of the parts are tight to say the least on the new toolings!. I've ended up sanding away at the seat/cockpit framework top get the fuselage closed.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

I had to sand the wing/fuselage fairing on my new-tool job to get the fuselage to fit the gap. Not much, mind, but a bit. Otherwise the wings looked flat!

I suppose, on balance that it's easier to sand it to fit than to have annoying gaps to fill ;-)

Until you then sand off too much of the soft soapy plastic and end up filling it anyway :evil:
