When you use terms like lazy and amateurish, think about how you would feel, if someone used those terms to describe your model build. Just saying.
These are not little things that need to be fixed, they are glaring problems. A commercial product should not have them.
Since someone at/for the publisher built the model (there are photos), that’s where/when the problems should have been reported and corrected.
The buyers should not be a test bed.
Not my job to instruct publishers on proper software or usage of it or to not leave parts placement to guesswork. That input is reserved for people trying to improve their skills.
If his had been a free model I would not call these things out as I did, but it’s not.
I’m not the only member here who will tell it like it is.
