Counterfeit dragon kits?

I did that kit last winter mine did not have a metal barrel niether, and a few bad fitting parts but the kit came out real good.          ACESES5                    

Dragon entered the market with poorly fitting kits. Some of their older repops show up as Shanghai Dragon and several of Dragon's kits became Zvezda molds. Fit on most of the kits from those lines is pretty poor.

Is it labelled as a "Premium Edition"? What is the kit number?

Dragon is renowned for their questionable instruction sheets. Build enough of their kits and you learn to test fit repeatedly, and try "opposite" side parts to confirm before gluing.

As far as the poor fit goes, I have not built their Ferdinand so I can not comment there. Did you buy this kit at a local store, an online shop, or secondhand from somewhere else. There are folks out there who sell secondhand, either in person or online who have shrink wrapped kits that are missing parts or substituted, and sold them off as new/mint condition.
