beat me to the english instructions. don't remember any significant fit problems. everything pretty much went together in a snap with i think the exception being the wing hinge but i think that might've been my fault with how i glued some of the panels together. it was easy enough to fix, i just sanded off the bumps that are supposed to keep the wings snapped in position. needless to say, my model doesn't have the movable wings... other than that, some of the glued seems needed to be sanded, but tha'ts about it. very nice kit. i've gotta get around to putting together the tie fighter from the same series that i've got sitting around somewhere.
