Sorry folks but this one has been put on hold indefinitely due to continued problems trying to use the laser-cut parts (see a discussion earlier in this thread). I intend to order another one and continue sometime in the future but I will only use the laser-cut parts that are for unseen, unclolored areas of the model. I cannot really fault either Orlik nor Draf (the laser-cut parts people) but rather my failure not to think some assemblies through before gluing things up. For those of you who have both the kit and the laser-cut parts all I can say is dry fit, dry fit, dry fit and predetermine what the results of trimming the Orlik parts to fit the laser parts will be. The Orlik kit is outstanding in detail, print quality and color matching. The Draf laser-cut parts are also of excellent quality but there is enough size difference (especially in the larger components) to make a difference. I do not know if this is caused by manufacturing, material properties or environmental conditions. Sorry to have gotten everyone excited about this project and then leave it incomplete but I cannot salvage this one and do not want to leap right into the replacement right now...
