Oh you poor soul. Welcome to the world of Profil 24, where the resin smell will leave you goofy and nothing is the way it seems. Having done (yes it was completely finished) the McLaren F1, let me tell you nothing you said surprises me. If you really want to do this, be prepared to spend many hours correnting everything. In my case, the pan did not fit, there were 1,000 pinholes and the flash would choke a donkey. Enough of the downside. When you get it cleaned up, it really presents well. The detail level is pretty good and I thought better than the Studio 27 McLaren. It does lend itself to having lots of goodies attached.
Hang in there fellow modeler, it is still a cool subject when done.
