I won't talk you out of it, but here is a take on the Revell kit.

And it's still much better than the 1950's Airfix example.

Ouch! Maybe I got a bad kit. I do remember that I built this kit before and the wing/fuselage assembly went very smooth. Perhaps the third time would provide the needed validation?
