Yes, This Is For Me. Cocpit looks A Little Pinched Though Eh? Oh Well. Not Real Bad. Wish Gemini Would Do Something About That Huge Gap At The Nose Gear Door, & Underside Nose Section. That HUGE GAP Is Rather Nast Looking Don't You Think?

That's right on! That huge gap is a major turn-off!!! Hate to see a model like this being messed up this way!!!

I asked you this in the UPS A380 thread, but I'll ask you again..

What makes this model a disaster? You just say this without explaining whats wrong!

The mould looks fine, and the cockpit isn't too far off (as it is supposed to not have the "eyebrows" on it). The nose gear looks bad, but I wouldn't call it a disaster.

Default Whats wrong

Well there shouldnt be a 1 millimeter indentation (recess) in the front wheel well for the front gear, it should be aligned with the rest of the fuselage...that takes away from the shape of the front of the aircraft.

.....Although I wouldn't call it a complete disaster and I really like ANA, the model does leave some things to be desired. I will probably hope to buy one, But... compare to this photo at nearly indentical angle:

.....I've got to the point where I'm looking at the level of QC on models I already own and I'm not all that happy.
