Intruder Alert...Intruder Alert...

I just noticed that my AJ-500 Intruder has a few issues. The AJ tail art is crooked on the starboard side, while the fuselage has a glossy finish - the wings and stabilators have a matte finish, and the canopy doesn't fit flush with the fuselage when it is closed. Did anyone else notice these issues? I really like all my CW's but a few things still need to be improved upon given the price of these models. I just want to discuss a few constructive thoughts to help CW improve their already fine models.

Re: Intruder Alert...Intruder Alert...

I haven't noticed anything regarding the tailart but I did notice the canopy didn't want to close properly with the crew inside.. I finally Elmered it shut and it looks fine now..

It may be an isolated incident. I don't seem to have any problems with mine. The h-stabilizers on mine are the wrong color, but that's something that I can easily live with.

Re: Intruder Alert...Intruder Alert...

I can't tell from that angle but is the AJ crooked?
