[WWI] Night lozenge problems

[Magnus Berggren]

It´s the High-Tech kit.
Maybe I have been spoiling myself with to many Eduard kits, but I really 
don´t have the patience for this kind of torture any more. When the most 
common thought in the whole project have been, "this would have been easier 
to scratch", it makes modelling feel more like work, and less like a hobby. 
Sometimes I was looking forward to making the dishes or cleaning the 
appartment, just to get away from the kit.....;-)
