Thanks kindly. Karl, after reading every review I could find on the web, I think it's pretty hit or miss how your kit will build. Some have no problems, others have a specific problem not found any where else and mine seems to be a mix of several. If you choose to leave the bay open, you'll avoid one problem. As the majority of my builds are from the lower end of the kit quality scale, this is bothering me less and less. Having said that, I have the Tamiya Meteor awaiting my next GB.
