Some have a gap under the arm while in others the arm is tight against the body. I think this is another example of the multiple 'masters' used for production.Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538035190723791338.post-88094067341168308012017-12-27T09:34:38.790-08:002017-12-27T09:34:38.790-08:00Hi Matt
