Tomcat Fan Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 C-pit, already finnished, and attached to the hull, HARD work needed to do this... don't know, how can be such BAD fit, when I started attaching c-pit, forgot to take pictures... buger.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Had the same problem with mine. Started sealing up the fuselage on one of them Saturday night and found all three were bad fits. They shoulda made the bulkheads/panel lock into the "pod" so they line up. There's no real way of getting at them once everything's in place to straighten them out. Better go check my spares box for some panel lines 'cause I know I'm about to lose a few :D Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

achook-achook Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Great work and progress. Once you have hurdled the assembly of the fuselage tub (which you already did in good fashion), the next thing to look out for is the assembly of the landing gear. The Hobbyboss kit I had (an FM-1) had very soft plastic landing struts and it took me some time to get it right without damaging of breaking some parts.
