David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA I had two of this kit, one to build with the landing gear down, the canopy raised, with all the access panels, ordnance bays, etc., all open to view, the crew chief and service crew making visual inspection; and the other would have a USAF pilot seated in the cockpit, gear up, in flight approaching 20,000 metres, well exceeding Mach two, as the winged predator much as its namesake closes upon a cavalier intruder suddenly unwitting prey . . . . Unfortunately, with both kits, I could not make the upper and lower halves fit together correctly to close properly; no matter how I adjusted, retried, shifted, fiddled, struggled, even pleaded, the two halves obstinately remained three or four millimetres (3-4 mm; round 1/8th of an inch; 0.125”) awry, never for the twain to meet. I in my exasperation chuckled them back into the boxes, stowing them upon a shelf. Hasegawa, I want back my $90.00 each. Aside from you poor design, I have a personal reason.

That’s no good, Hasegawa kits tend to be quite fiddly, this looks like to be one of those…
