So I've been assembling the new Primaris Repulsor tank for my 40k army, and let me tell you it has been a struggle and I've only barely gotten the hull together so far. I don't know whether I'm just a clumsy oaf or whether the kit is poorly designed or what. It's like putting a Land Speeder together all over again on a larger scale. Maybe the kit is just not very forgiving of any misaligned parts. All I know is that I'm going to have to break out the Procreate Putty to fill some ugly gaps where I just could not make the parts fit together properly. Seems kind of sad when I haven't had this kind of trouble with any of the newer GW model kits until now.

Is anyone else having trouble assembling this model?

Email gw and complain. Say the model was malformed or something. Ask for an rma to return it

You mean this area right here?



I've heard from a couple accounts that it's prone to gaps here. I figure it's a compounding issue of the eight pieces that make up the circumference having teeny misalignments that add up to noticeable gaps when you put those last sides on. I personally found them not terribly hard to fill and clean up though.

Yes, that's it exactly. Both sides; large gaps. I guess it's a known issue. I can most likely use my aforementioned ProCreate putty ("green stuff") to fix it, but what a pain in the ass... I thought there wouldn't be any more repeats of ill-fitting kits like the Land Speeder from GW, but life proves me wrong. Oh well, enough bitching and bellyaching, time to fix it!

Yep. its absolute hell.
i feel like there is a better way to assemble it.
