I have the same when building tanks.

The T-95 was the worst, the bloody plan wasn't symmetrical! I started measuring one set of tracks then realised it was too narrow for the other side!

Also I find there is a degree of interpretation sometimes and drawings can be 'funky' in places. It might look right from one angle but on the other the bits just down line up!

Keep up the good work!

I'm at the other extreme, making it up as I go along; and very much in awe of this approach - it's like comparing a seven year old's chalk scrawl on a blackboard to a Banksy.

The plans may not be exact, but it looks like a BF-110 to me so far. For some odd reason, I just liked the idea of Hess jumping out of a recognition model.

Made some good progress in past couple days but still a bit behind my goal of finishing the plane by week 2. I'm back to Plan#A which involves Hess descending by open chute while abandoned plane spirals to earth. Next step is excavating the cockpit and carving propellor blades.

Unbelievable

That IS superb.
Nice lines on the Me.

I agree - great looking lines.

Brilliant

The construction portion of Hess' 110 is done - propellors and drop tanks are also finished but not pictured. Very pleased with how cleanly it all went together. I decided to build the plane "in flight" with the canopy closed. I'll try to give the allusion of a crashing, abandoned ship with my camera later on.

Now on to sculpting my first 28mm figure. I'm dreading the face, though most will be covered by goggles. Stay tuned

The base coat of paint makes an already great model look even "cleaner" to my eye. Good luck on the figure sculpt!

That's very slick, extremely well done.

Bloody hell...

I’m astonished how ‘clean’ these always come up! No sign of the wood grain whatsoever!

incredible craftsmanship, as Andym said I'm amazed at the lack of visible woodgrain
