 From:  Chris Oldfield 
A few years ago I attempted to build the DML 1/35 V2 missile (big mistake). I tried to fit the fins to the rocket only to find lots of gaps, filled & sanded these several times without success.
Eventually I grew so frustrated with the kit that I taped it to a wooden post in the garden & shot it with an air pistol until it was dead. This was the first time I'd done this to a model since I was about 13.

Cheers,
Chris
