Cardo you have the worst luck with diecast planes it seems.

Naw, I've got far more 'perfect' models than those with issues (quest for 'zero defect'). Usually the issues (if any) are minor and easily corrected but like with the P40 (self-inflicted)
"stupid is as stupid does" - referring to myself of course
.
(I don't want to tempt fate but as of yet
I've not had any problems with Carousel and Eagles International models and my
Franklin Mint and
Dragon Warbirds are also generally pretty good
.)
