Hey Chris. Wow you're Phantom came out really nice. I personally think it's one of the harder kits to build. Mainly because of all the stencils and the weapons payout. I don't think there's much you can do if the model isn't going together properly, that's just par for the course. You just get out the putty and move on. Those engines look great wow that is cool. Sorry. I can't give you pictures of my F4 build. I was going to paint the interior of the house like 6 years ago or something and I was putting it up on the top shelf in the garage and it slipped out of my fingers and hit the cement floor.

Yeah, I can see where some of the problems were on that, and it reminds me of the same issues I had on my version years ago. I couldn't get the nose to stay on, and after the 4th time it fell off, I gave up!

Sadly, no; it was lost when my family had to put stuff into storage and fell behind on payments (contents were thrown away by the place). We had negotiated a payment arrangement, but someone in the office didn't get the note and discarded the stuff. I remember a HUGE fight resulted over that one, with my parents suing the place and winning in small claims court, but the damage was done , This was back some years ago, when I was a much younger pengbuzz.

Looks great. I thought Tamiya's 1/32 series were known to be well made, fit and instructions. Is this kit just and outlier or an older kit? I did the 1/32 Corsair and it was tricky also, various reasons, not least which was user error . Have the 1/32 f-15 strike eagle in stash waiting.
