Heya, Guys,

I have a question about the Revell VIIC, which just showed up in the mail yesterday (wahoo!)...

Forgive me if I don't articulate this very well... On my kit, the two hull halves are slightly tapered/flared OUTWARD at the top front portion of the bow (for want of a better description, if the ship were a shark, this would be the apex of it's snout)... Normally one would expect both hull halves to be PERFECTLY FLATwhere the two pieces mated, but not in this case --- did my plastic hull get beat up in transport, or is this the way the kit (and the real thing) is...?

Thanks a bunch for indulging me, guys!

Aloha,

Johnny B
