Paul Payne Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I would send that photo to Revell and request a replacement for every tree like that. It's awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 That looks awful. They lost money on all the extra plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnU Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Well, better over shot than under shot! Parts should be fine but, you got a little trimming to do there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a bit excessive but the parts are fine. I wouldn't have even thought twice about a tree like that. Trimming flash and mold seams has been a part of building plastic models since day one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say, I have one out in my car that was a recent reissue and I don’t think it was that bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
