Jeff for a background building that looks very good. Can't imagine building a kit with bad instructions; I guess that's why I scratch build to avoid that.

Another great build Jeff, but sounds frustrating the problems you had.  I'm surprised as I thought FOS was one of the better kit makers. Two No.5's listed. Ha ha.
I assume the kit parts are well done, even if the instructions are a bit lacking.

Except for some DPM brick buildings, like Larry I only tend to scratchbuild, so if it doesn't work correctly, that's on me.

Thanks, Larry.  I've built enough kits where I can usually figure out if there's a problem, but the bracing still seems to get me.

Thank you, Rob.  FOS kits instructions are usually precise enough, and I've only had a couple of instances where a part was off on size.

Thanks, Rich.  It was a fun (though very long) build.

Howdy Jeff,

Nice work on the fine detailing, paint, and assembly.  The model looks fantastic.

Have fun,
