At my age, with failing eyesight, I have no time to spend fighting with fit, more than what should always be expected. If that means spending more money, so be it, but this kit cost less than or no more than the 1/32 Corsair and 1/48 F-4B from Tamiya.Zoukei-Mira is known to be one of the higher end kits out there. Expensive too and well engineered.
