Pack 22 arrived today here in the US: The doors do not fit well into the roof section, I highly recommend applying tape to the upper door edge while assembling to protect the paint edges. Anyone else having door fit issues on this stage, and what did you do to improve the fit. I think I may need to elongate the hinge pillar holes to get more door adjustment.

That's a great tip Andreas. I haven't reached that point yet but it will be a mod I'll be looking at.

When I came to this stage, one of my doors fitted perfectly but the other wouldn't open/close properly, nothing seemed to line up or anything and it just wouldn't fully shut. It turns out that I have fitted the hinge bracket the wrong way around right at the beginning of the build. Stripped the door down, removed the hinge bracket, turned it around and re assumed everything. Hey presto, the door is a perfect fit. Building:

R2D2, Red Bull RB7 RC, Battleship Bismarck, Shelby GT500 'super snake'
