Williams' 1/53 Lockheed L-19 "Lost Electra"

Just threw away the subject UNCOMPLETED kit.    I've been building for over 70 years and can't remember ever running into such a piece of trash in a pretty Williams box. Nothing fit.  Could have built another aircraft from the amount of flash I had to cut away. Somebody's five year old was conned into drawing the plans...which barely resembled the plane.

Just a warning guys and gals...beware the pretty boxes!

I am very surprised at your comment about the Amelia Earhart kit. I built my kit about a year ago. I had no problems at all. Did you take the time to contact the manufacturer. I have had no problems when I contacted them and their service was always very prompt.

It was not a big investment, so I didn't bother to contact.  I got the feeling there were changes on the kit when it went from matchbox?
