    Thanks Dennis. That's good to know. I think it may be due to the fuselage halves being so thin. 

    Yes I had a problem with that by the cockpit, the finish was not too good either as you can see, I had to polish the wings up as they were so rough.

    The full tale of the build is here, from way back in 2013 https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234950125-mdc-hawker-typhoon/

  2. They all seem to be like that one way or another, the nose on mine did not line up and one of the wings was a bit wonky as well, hot water and brute force seems to be the answer.

    The nose took some persuading as the top of the fuselage halves did not line up.

    And there was air bubbles in various places, but it all worked out in the end.

  3. Yes it does seem to be quite common for us more mature people to injure ourselves in the case of falls, I'm glad the injury was not worse and I hope a full recovery awaits you both.
