I'm working on the Heller HMS Victory (1/100 scale) and was very surprised
to find that the decks do not fit inside the hull. The top deck at its
widest point is 6/32 of an inch too wide. A little sanding to fit would be
expected but not that much. I first noticed this problem with the second
deck from the bottom but as the hull narrows as it goes up things are
getting progressively worse. I have read many of the favorable comments
about this kit in this group and therefore assumed I had made some mistake
in assemble but in reviewing I don't see how this could be. The two hull
halves are just glued together and I don't see how any adjustments (or
mistakes) could be made. Anyone else have such a problem with the Heller HMS
Victory?
