Regardless of the quality of the kit, I ALWAYS prefit my parts as I build. Do not be afraid to take a blade or file to something to smooth it out to get it to fit. Keep in mine these are mass produced kits and over time there will be some changes in the original mold. Before you get much further and have to unglue things ( there is a solution you can use to release the glue, have used it my self. Becarefull, it will make the parts a little brittle) make sure the parts you are using, fit to where they need to be. It is the cardinal rule in kit construction. Revells Schnellboote S-100 being converted for R/C use. Note the battery charging port being placed under an air intake.
