Attachment DeletedI have recently got interested back into models after a rough couple of years but anyway I would like to build my original Cashback and other amt kits and was told these don't have the best fit and really are tricky kits any help anyone can give me before I start would be great thanks

Since these kits used common chassis and had several versions they don't have a lot of positive locators like, pins, notches, slots etc. So in many cases you have parts that are challenges to hold and glue accurately and you have to do some guesswork on exactly how they fit best. Not that big of a problem, just plan to use some aids, fast setting glues, adding your own mounting pins, and a lot of extra time. Sometimes I use those extra hands devices with the alligator clips on a heavy base to hold parts in place while assembling and the adhesive sets, good to replace the serrated jaws with smooth versions, or put on a protector over them so they don't leave bite marks.
