Hasegawa 1/72 RVF-25 Super Messiah fit issues

[Mintox]

Hi has anyone tried step 5 in the instructions and found that the back pack wont sit neatly when parts X7 and X8 (radome mount) are added to the back?I was hoping they would have modified the part SD6 to have a bigger opening to allow the rear of radome mount to slip inside and sit better. Only option I see is to do that job myself although will that make it not cannon if I modify the part to make it fit?

modify it. Same as we do with the sloped VF-1 Legs in Fighter mode.

Is there not another part SD6 on another runner? Usually they're pretty good about that sort of thing.

I'll be getting mine in by the end of the week (hopefully), so I'll try to look at it for you.

I was hoping this was the case but the part numbers are identical. Easy enough to modify the actual radome support but I would have thought Hasegawa would have been smart and used or added a modified sprue.
