Title says it all, what kit that you have ever built just plain got on your nerves, bad fit, messed up the decals, losing a key part, krazy glued your hand to a wing?? Etc.

 
My most annoying kit was a Tamiya 1/35 Sherman, don’t get me wrong it was an excellent kit, but I lost one of the bogie halfs and had to get it replaced, cracked an open spoke wheel and had to use the die cast wheels which look just plain ugly, I had a REALLY annoying problem with my paint bubbling on the surface of the model, and finally I ripped a decal for the marking I wanted and had to use a different scheme.

For worst kit I would say a Lindberg USS Melvin, the hull and deck didnt fit together, at all. The prop shafters were different lengths, the motor included didnt work and finally the depth charge racks didnt fit at all either.
