Glue stains and fingerprints :(

[Sabrefan]

Have any of your guys found glue stains, and fingerprints on your models. I didn't notice it till tonight that my BBI Corsair has a fingerprint that is in a glue stain under the right wing. I wonder how often this happens when these models are built?

I have what looks like super glue redisue and white powder on my S1 AT F-86.

One of my planes, can't recall which looks like hand painted stripes or decal repair

Three words: Way Too Often...can't these guys control themselves with the glue tube or wear latex gloves when assembling stuff? ...this is probably the most annoying quality control issue I have with our chosen hobby...some of us are old enough to remember a science fiction movie in the 50's called The Amazing Colossal Man, about a guy with a super growth spurt induced by an atomic blast (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050118/plotsummary if this kind of high drama makes you curious). Anyhow, the first clue the local law enforcement has that something is amiss is a huge handprint on the side of a police car --- somehow nobody notices a 50 foot giant silhouetted on the horizon...so if those annoying Chinese fingerprint whorls prove distracting, just go with a sci-fi diorama..you can even include yourself as the monster...

How about paint splatters too ! .... even on the "older ones". ..
