Larry,

Sorry about that. It's the Dragon kit. I spent a lot time working on those things. Dragon should of done better.

What I did was use a pencil trimmed flush at one end with a small piece of sand paper glued to it to remove the marks. Take a look at it and you'll see. Other then that, I thought the kit was really good and figures are awesome.

Which kit are you referring to when you say the ejector pin marks on the wheels are horrible? Trumpeter or Dragon?

I bought the Dragon kit some months ago but have not started on it yet. I read the FSM review and it gave both kits high marks , even though The Trumpeteer kit has more parts. I havent seen ejector marks on any parts yet, but I haven't looked at all the trees yet either.
Good luck on your build!

I went ahead and ordered a Trumpeter kit. I'll just put up with any fit problems I run across. Mainly because I don't like the plastic that Dragon uses, it seem to hard to work with. Thanks again monrad

No it doesn't remove alot of the detail. Some of the parts in the Trumpeter kit has alot of ejector pin marks, that is really the only bad thing so far, and it is these marks I have had to fill with putty and sand.

The snags are in the fit. Not because its a bad kit but because it is so big. Small misalignments here and there. Nothing too serious.

Can anybody advise on the fit on the Dragon gun? Is it a nice clean fit or do you have a lot of work ahead of you?

Thanks for the input monrad

I am dry fitting my Trumpeter kit, so far it has been ok.
The fit is ok, there are allways a couple of snags with these big kits, and I have sanded alot and used some putty. The detail is great, but it is a difficult kit to build because of the many parts.

Hope this helps !!
