What is "nit-picking" anyhow? The points I found on the kit that could be better are probably in the nit-picking area.

These are areas being too thick and could be replaced with thinner sheet stock, strip, etc. They are things I am going to improve on. For example, the turret side door openings lack the little step and the walls are too thick too. This may seem nit-picky to some but it is easy to fix. I will just cut off the side plate, make a new one from 0.020" sheet and glue it back on. It's stuff like that I want to point out.

I guess it's like stuff you'd normaly go and buy an Aber PE kit.

Paul.
