GMP Control Surfaces

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone out there had any loose or hard to work control surfaces on the GMP models. Just purchased Petie 3rd, and while the model is in perfect condition, the Left Flap moves further down than the Right Flap. The left elevator moves perfectly but the right elevator is tough to move (thought I would damage it, if I tried to move it much harder)

Furthermore, the ammunition loading access doors on the top of both wings has quite-a-bit of play in them (meaning they slide or have some play towards towards the back of the wing.

This is the first model that I have purchased of GMP that the flight controls have a little slop in them or are hard to move.

Currently own 4 different GMP Models.

Anyones opinion or input would be appreciated

Re: GMP Control Surfaces

I've several GMP mustangs and there is definitely some parts that move more smoothly than others (I find the elevators don't move much on my P-40s, for example). I believe the gun bay issue though is by design, the sliding is what enables the doors to be lifted and raised to the open position?? I can't recall a Mustang with a part that was so stubborn I was afraid of breaking it though. (They're all in storage at the moment.)
