I don't like that it much either, and most of my models were made that way. Most of the time I have to choose if I want the skins to match, or if I want the fuselage to be a corkscrew. It's also prone to getting gaps, unless you make it perfect. The instructions always say to do a lot of sanding, both on the edges of the frames (to give them the right profile from the side view) and the bulk surface, to get rid of those gaps. Personally I never sanded, but I'll try it the next time
