Ok here it is.
The glass on one side popped out, and I can't get it back in. The fit is just so so so so awful on my version of this kit.
Mine is apparently from 2013 or onwards.
With some cleaning and a bit of work I can do it. I know I can. Just don't want to right now.

Re: Ceaser's Beachcraft Bonanza
That does look rougher than what I faced, window fit looks okay. Perhaps popping the seam at the base of the wind screen will let you take care of that gap. The lack of locating pins got you on the fuselage, bit nothing some filler and sanding won’t fix. Honestly, I would not sweat the panel liners too much. Paint and decals will hide most of that. It looks to be quite salvageable in my mind.

Re: Ceaser's Beachcraft Bonanza
I'd agree with Lyle, that's definitely save-able...

If it was mine.... it’s Hammer time!
I’ll sit back and watch you do your magic in fixing this one. Yeah, it does look awful fit-wise. Soldier on, my friend...

Re: Ceaser's Beachcraft Bonanza
Soldier on I did Blacksheep!
And here are the results before decals.
More to come, but I am more ok with this now. Have cleanup to do on one side, my masking wasn't done very well. Tore off some paint etc.

Agreed! When life (or Minicraft Models) gives you lemons, get some tequila and salt!
Excellent save Declan.

Good progress, Declan. Working through the bummer parts of the build like a champ.
