Come on Moran, my best kit ever looks a whole lot worse than your EC135!!!

I was relieved to read your post: I always thought I did something very wrong with the 1:72 EC135. I've built six of them and the last one hardly came out any better than the first. Besides the poor fit of the fuselage halves, EMS interior and exhausts, I keep having major problems with the windows; they fit like s#8@!

Another worst kit ever, although a rather obscure one: A-Model's 1:72  Ka226. The plastic is as thick as the plating on a 1:1 T34, the EMS interior is big enough for a 1:32 crew to have comfortable sex on and detail on a 1:700- kit is better than on this piece of heavy industry.

Cheers, Gertjan

Tell me about it. I did manage to get them in place at one point, but some time after I had the two fuselage halves glued and sanded, stress must have popped one of the sides a little out again. They're still in place, but visibly recesses.

The way I consider the kit, it's a beauty in the box. The stock decals are numerous, in register, and great, there's little flash, no sink holes, the details are crisp and fine, down to the different types of seat belts on the different seats. The problem is that for some reason, they made all the parts different scales. You have a 1/73 fuselage. 1/72 interior. 1/71 canopy. And so on. I never was able to get the canopy top flush with the fuselage roof, best I could do was to create a 'ramp' so that it at least looked like it was supposed to be like that.
