I concur…
While I do love canopy masking sets some manufacturers are now demanding ridiculous prices for the convenience. On a simple single-seat aircraft I would rather mask by hand and save the money for additional kits.

I think Eduard has priced themselves out of the market, at least for the kits with simple transparencies.

While I do like the new way Airfix is adding the wings/cockpit assemblies, I’m equally glad to see that it wasn’t just me who had large wing root gaps to fill. Can’t wait to see the paint schemes!

It may be distortion in the soft plastic Airfix uses, on a couple of these kits the wings fit very well. Could just be me. If I obsess about getting a “perfect” fit I find I still need some sanding anyway so doing some filling and sanding is always on the schedule.
