    AG-1 Starting to crack

    Hey guys,

    I have been building my AG-1 over the last couple of weeks, and have noticed that there is a crack starting to form on the back of the body. Wondering what you guys think it's hard to get a good photo of it but the crack seems to be getting a bit more every few days. It wasn't there that i noticed when I got the kit.

    That is not a good crack. It's not a glue joint opening up, that's a fundamental split in the wood and it's only going to get worse.

    Looks like it was split at the end of that body section at the factory, as there's a glue mark there where they've stuck it back together once. But that bit of wood definitely looks like it want to be two bits of wood. The crack's already halfway along the body and it's definitely more than a surface crack that could be filled and ignored.

    Email the pics to PitBull. It's replacement kit time in my opinion.

    Cheers
