For the hand stowage issue, I kind of had it from out of box since YYK did an inspection. I tried to fix it but made it worse, before kind of actually fixing it, but can't be sure I really had it right because of all the other slop.

The things I vaguely remember trying are tucking the thumb under the palm and index finger, as opposed to a true open palm. That seemed to help clear the little swiveling piece in the side panel, and w/e else is bulging from the leg and bottom engine panels. I think that swiveling piece in the panel also isn't supposed to go fully rotated in. There's no proper stopping point, but I think if you go to the end of its rotation, it wedges under the double jointed swing out arm for the panel, blocking it's full closing motion. Hope that helps.

That swing arm also kind of catches on to the collapsed bottom engine panels in delimiter mode, when you don't get the panel angles perfect. It's kind of weird how a swing arm that seems to have the most open storage space on the whole toy catches on so many things, and it's so hard to notice it too.

I remember I had some trouble with the hands too in Fighter. All I did was lift the whole arm out to inspect the shoulders, rotate it slightly to test articulation and tucking them back in. It is really one of those annoying things needing a lot of eyeball estimation to align the arms and hands for the panels around it to close properly.
