  This is AC Selena, right? I guess you’ve already resolved this issue for the shoulders (by removing the snap-fit pegs entirely) but in my experience the parts fit on this kit is extremely tight in places – enough so that you’ll have a gap (or damage parts trying to stick them together enough to eliminate the gap) if you don’t trim down the snap-fit first. I saw it on the shoulder parts, and on the layered parts of the lower leg. It’s worth being careful, I think.
  Good luck, it’s always cool to see an AC build.

    Oh didnt know that..thanks for the heads up! I will be extremely carefull..I did find that the fiting is tight..I sanded evrything down giving allowance for the primer and base paint. Again thanks for the heads up sir 🙂
