 Subject:  B-45 Tornado by Mach2List thread.

There are so many, but since you said 'Built' instead of 'threw in the trash out of disgust', this one is the winner.

I will never buy another Mach2 kit again, the inch high ejector marks should have been my first clue... along with the matching massive sinkholes. Half the cockpit parts had to be thrown out due to the worst flash I have ever seen. Nothing even came close to fitting.

BUT, I had no choice this time, I was building it for a friend as a Christmas gift for his Father that flew them in the 50's. Took me I think 4 months of 2-3 hours a day to get it finished. The end result actually looked good, but it was just so much work that it wasn't even close to enjoyable.

The worst armor kit? Never did finish that Kora A7V in 1:72nd, see my review on this website for details.
