Dealing with fit, finish, and accuracy problems for injection-molded plastic kits has been a characteristic of these kits for decades. Plastic modelers long ago resigned themselves to being "modelers" rather than "kit assemblers". This means correcting the many and manifold flaws in the models as the good doctor has expertly shown above. Often this borders on scratch-building. Witness the plethora of aftermarket accessories in resin, plastic, photoetch, metal, & 3D-printing from suppliers such as Evergreen Scale Models, K & S Metals, Albion tubing, Gold Medal Models, Eduard, and so on ad infinitum. Well done, Doc.
