yea its smaller, but the complexity is a feat.
water decals.... hmm u can try washing the whole runner with dilute
soap water before starting any assembling and decal applying. tats
wad i seen from other forums.
regarding the faceplate in risk of removing its eye-sticker, u can
try removing the sticker as a whole, place it on a doubleside tape,
cut it out and put it back. thats wad i do when it almost tear
apart on my F91.
btw, no rubber parts also means that some poses will be more secure
as rubber parts will lose its strength after some time. even if it
loses its strength in posing, can use superglue to make the ball
joints thicker by abit, so it'll hold on longer.
p.s.: what parts not fitted tightly? for mine, most of them is ok
mah...
