| As to mistakes - any of those mentioned could be true, but what I definitely did wrong was to interchange the inboard and outboard cannon. In reality, the outboard ones projected slightly further forward than the inner, and Revell faithfully allowed for this, but assumed the inner ones would be further forward because it "looked right", and went ahead accordingly. The other thing is that on WW2 models, you really need to replace the undercarriage doors with thin plastic card using the kit ones as patterns, because the scale thickness of the kit ones is about three inches!
But I don't think Alice noticed, and if she was to continue with other kits, I would have to swallow my pride and let her make mistakes and not come up to my standards, but let it be far more her own work. |
