Started this new one from W-model. To be honest... a bit of a let down, a lot of rework is needed. Had contact about it with the manufacturer, and they will upgrade the molds. They also offered new parts, but I wanted to try to solve it, and have the new parts as a back-up plan...

I'm following!

You have done a lot of reworks still at the beginning of the build! It will be a really sweating work! I hope at the end it will be a fun!
