TWEAK LIST VERSION 1.1 (publication date: Aug. 2008)

A special Thank You to:

The following list is intended to help modelers in improving scale accuracy of an airplane model replica. In no way is it intended to support or be offensive towards a scale model company. It is up to the modeler to decide whether correcting the listed issues is worth the time and money he will have to invest in the quest for accuracy process.

No aftermarket correction or detail set is mentioned in this document as the availability of such items may be very variable. Hence, refer to other LSP sections to find relevant information. Moreover, aftermarket sets do not necessarily correct all listed issues. Please refer accordingly to relevant documentation.

NOTICEABLE FUSELAGE ISSUES (from front to rear)

NOTICEABLE WINGS/WEAPONS ISSUES

NOTICEABLE COCKPIT ISSUES

NOTICEABLE CANOPY ISSUES

NOTICEABLE LANDING GEAR ISSUES

OTHER NOTICEABLE ISSUES & MISCELLANEOUS REMARKS

KIT MARKINGS

Decals are almost completely unusable and should be replaced with aftermarket ones. Fonts are all wrong, national insignia are the wrong size and proportions, many colors are wrong, many words are misspelled (CLOBE?), and many stencils are in Cyrillic!
