Jon,

One Half of the main Carrier deck of the ship is bent, plus one side of 
the
piece has missing material.  No matter how much I try and straighten the
piece, I'll still have a gap that I will need to fill.

There is also 4 piece section that is used for the spinning hull section
of
the ship...  One complete edge of 1 of the pieces is missing, looks like
they didn't use enough material in the mold when casting it.

I have built a few of their Omega mini's when first released that had
the
alignment problems, and I was expecting that kind of issue, but I never
thought I'd have to complete the shape of some of the parts with resin.

Stuart
