I will hopefully stay out of posting about this kit (after this) since I am not a fan and will not be buying it. But in it's defense, with an all over paint job, which it will need to satisfy any serious (or maybe even casual) modeler, the open seems are easily fixed. They look large by any modern model standard, but are still easily fixed. And kudos to DeAgo for showing this kind of build. They could have easily filled seems and presented something misleading. I think the MF was early on described like it wouldn't need anything but assembling. With this kit it says it will painted but come with instructions to help the serious modeler paint it. I was concerned about the MF getting cancelled right at the end of the subscription so I ordered two at full price, but don't forget it later was sold as a complete kit for a discount. If the price bothers you and you don't REALLY have to have it but WANT it, think about waiting for it as a full kit at a discount. Having said all that (and for the last time), the cost, the product, and the size are why I would never even consider this for purchase. From now on, I will try to stay out of it, so PM if want to hear something from me--although I really don't have much else to say about this.
