Picked up a CR-01 Unimog body for my current CR-01 build, Project Mogfather.
I noticed that there is a seam that runs side to side across the roof and then diagonally down the side window, across the door, continuing all the way down and across the wheel well (that you eventually cut out and remove). Looking at pictures of the Mog online, you can see the seam across the wondow, so clearly the seam itself is meant to be there. However, it's hard to tell if the seam is visible from the outside of the body in the painted regions. I've run my fingers across the outside of the body (admittedly with the protective film still on), and I can feel the seam, which leads me to believe it would be visible from the outside, even after painting.
So, could someone who has worked with the Mog body before please let me know if the seam is visible from the outside of the body once it is painted. Obviously it will be visible in the areas not painted (i.e. the windows), but I am curious about the painted areas.
If it is, that's fine. I just want to know if it's normal or a defect with the body I bought. Being Tamiya, it's hard to imagine a defective body, :shock: but I just want to make sure.
Many thanks.
