I too am having problems with issues 130 thru 139, lots and lots of brass bits and plastic bits, some easily identified, others not! Many references to earlier issues, so a complete nightmare chasing down the parts!! Also very annoying, are that many very small parts needed to be fitted to walls, etc made many moons ago. Would have been very easy to fit these parts on the metal BEFORE gluing to the wood frame, whereas now, many areas are very difficult to get to! Also the metal/plastic parts are still getting smaller and smaller, and 3 years on my eyesight is not so good!!! plus they seems to be very fragile, try the guns in issue 137 (page 298 as an example). I am now convinced that my model, although fitted for floating on the water, should be kept as a static model, not sure if all these very delicate parts can withstand very much handling. /another problem might be is how well does the glue stick on later additions, could motors running cause vibration enough for them to fall off??
