Thanks for the very kind words fellows!

Stephen - firstly, again, a fine job on the Voss figure! The fit on the fuselage frames into the fuselage halves was tight, mainly around the cockpit. It seems to me as though the frames are slightly too wide. That said, unlike the Pfalz, there are no little bits and pieces that get in the way of the fuselage fit, so I figure it must be the frames. ome very tense moments and some firm pressure sorted it all out. That said, I think I may have made some errors in fitting the fuselage to the bottom wing which may have compounded the issue, plus my method of building the interior framework as a completely separate sub assembly was against the instructions and may have also contributed. If I was to build the kit again, I would try and fit the interior before closing the fuselage halves, hopefully this may assist with the wing and fuselage alignment... hopfully... Another issue identified by a few people is the fit of the top decking - the part needs to be another few mm wider. Again, if I was to build the kit again I would pad this area out with strip plastic prior to painting the interior.

Long story short, it was probably a combination of me not following the instructions and some minor fit issues with the kit....Hope this helps some
