Ryan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The top and bottom rails are not consitnat left to right, discovered this while working on it. If Trumpeter had done this there would be rioting in the streets. Not an easy fix in styrene. 48th F-117A by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr 48th F-117A by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbird Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Looks like you should rotate the left side piece 180°, no? Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I don’t think you could do that, if any of the membership can get a spare kit out and check that would be awesome! Edited March 23, 2020 by Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Yes I wondered the same thought Jennings. Someone prove me wrong, I’m pretty sure I followed the directions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadff Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Well, "unfortunately" Jennings is right. The parts are perfect parallelograms and you can install them either way. I just tried it and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Awe crud, no way am I getting the left one out. Thanks for checking. Coneheadff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 It never occurred to me you could flip them, at least no one knows I did it! I know I did use the correct par numbers. Most of the others I tried to research seemed to have used Eduard mesh instead of kit parts. Oh well, I'm sure I can get replacements.

DeanKB Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Well, the good news is that rioting is no longer required, and that would be very awkward to do without leaving home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
