Much appreciated guys!
On the pics the chest piece is not pushed all the way in, I had removed it before and didn't realize it until it was too late.
Suffice to say that the chest is flush with the rest of the body when properly pushed in, however.....
I did try the battle damaged chest on the figure and I got the same result as watermelon's pics on page 262 of this thread. Where you see the right side of the chest is jetting out a bit.
And the backdrop of the pics is a car factory poster that came in handy afterall!
