The Hasegawa 1/72 Mosquito FB Mk. VI may be becomming my nemesis. I have old Lindberg, Aurora, and Testors kits with better fit! Banged Head [banghead]

Have any of you ever encountered a kit that just wouldn't let you build it?

It wasn't a bad kit, other modelers had perhaps actually been able to build it into a show stopper and award winner somehow. However, that kit just would not let you do the same in spite of your skills and determination to do so.

That you failed once would not deter you from buying another kit of it and trying yet again. Alas, it would just not accept YOU building it. The kit is totally repectable product, it simply has it in for YOU personally.

For me, that nemesis kit is Hasegawa's 1/72 Grumman S-2F Tracker.

I've tried building the thing THREE times and it just won't let me build it nicely. I have the skills to do it and its not a crap kit either, old yes, crap no. I have indeed seen other modelers take home hardware from competitions with seriously nice models build from this kit and taken their advice on building it well and yet it will not let me build it to a standard of which I could be proud to show it.Sad [:(]

So, do any of you modelers have a similar nemesis kit?
