What is going on here ... please enlight me...KH instructions state that part B40 (shown on the instructions) should be placed at the back of the cockpit on the upper fuselage piece...ok so far!!! Then, the fun starts now, piece B30 should be placed(glued) at the back of the clear canopy. Ok...THERE IS NO part B30 on the sprue and from what I have seen on the net, is part B40 at the back of the clear canopy and nothing at the back of the cockpit...

I would say that should go on rear of cockpit. Looks like it'd be a headbanger if it was actually on the canopy like that. There was nothing like that on the B canopy.

Actually the rear end of the A and C model canopy is closed off by that or some other piece seen on this photo of the actual aircraft.

No, it's not you. My Dad is working on this one too and showed me the exact same problem the other night. Apparently Kitty Hawk threw in the IFR bay and didn't modify the cockpit tub so the two don't foul each other. It doesn't really make me want to invest in a KH F-35.

I can't be sure but, I would guess it's the ammo drum for the GAU-12 cannon. Nice work so far, I really like the undercarriage as I echo a previous post. The pit looks great too! I have put off purchasing this kit but, with your work I am inspired to get it, even with all the head aches you are going through!

Its ok!, I found out that this is the "drum" from an F-18 gun...hhhmm...next diorama...maybe...

Something else now...is the USNAVY using the gbu-32??? I have a spare couple from my F-22 built (academy) and I would like to use them with my F-35C...anyone???
