As you guys have been so helpful, I thought I would take advantage and continue to pick your brains.

I have put the two fuselage halves together now and also attached the horizontal tail surfaces. So far so good. On dry fitting the vertical tail surfaces, the locator pins come nowhere near fitting into the intended holes. They're about 1 mm out.

I am sure I've put it together right so far. Is this a known fault with the kit? The only solution seems to be to sand away the pins and glue it flush to the surface.
