There's some serious smoothing group issues around the tail on that model.

Sorry Dave I thought I hadn't said it right :lol:

Seriously I had not commented before as I was not sure it was payware but the smoothing and the smoothing hit me right between the eyes

Didn't notice any issues (I'm not as knowledegable as you chaps). It flies very nicely and overall looks beautiful which is enough for me. Although I only paid £9.99 for it, had I paid the usual prices I would probably agree that the issues you mention may be a serious complaint.

Just one of those things that stand out when you have done modelling, even if only a little like me.

Basically you can see triangles on the rear fuse strips. They should be smoothed into individual groups so it is a smooth long piece but still showing the ribbing.

Looks like poly smoothing may just have been left off there. :dunno:

The tail is also a bit of a bumpy mess and why folks put aerial wires on that are thick and black :o I really don't know.

Most of this doesn't show in the other pics and if you are happy with it for a tenner then great. :thumbsup:
