What looks like a simple straightforward kit is anything but. I don't know about other Eastern Express kits, but this one doesn't even begin to fit together well. Lots of putty and lots of sanding. Two coats of paint, and looking at the picture I see there is more work to go. On the other hand this is all there is that will need that treatment. Everything else is struts going in holes, so if it's not straight I'll have to drill new holes, but that's about it.
