Ryan 1,009 Posted March 23 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 1 Uilleann reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warbird 930 Posted March 23 Looks like you should rotate the left side piece 180°, no? 1 Uilleann reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 1,009 Posted March 23 (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 by Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coneheadff 33 Posted March 23 Let me take a look tomorrow Please send me a PM...to make sure I won't forget it. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Heilig 12,563 Posted March 23 It's a parallelogram, so you should be able to rotate it 180 degrees. As long as this kit has been out and as many as I've seen built, that's the first time I've heard of that being a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 1,009 Posted March 23 Yes I wondered the same thought Jennings. Someone prove me wrong, I’m pretty sure I followed the directions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coneheadff 33 Posted March 25 Well, "unfortunately" Jennings is right. The parts are perfect parallelograms and you can install them either way. I just tried it and it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 1,009 Posted March 25 Awe crud, no way am I getting the left one out. Thanks for checking. 1 Coneheadff reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Heilig 12,563 Posted March 25 I'm curious if the instructions are clear on that? I can't believe you're the first person who ever had the problem. Or maybe you're just the first one who noticed it! Sorry... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 1,009 Posted March 26 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. 2 Coneheadff and Jennings Heilig reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Heilig 12,563 Posted March 27 Or just don't mention it to anyone ever again 1 Ryan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanKB 8,898 Posted March 27 Well, the good news is that rioting is no longer required, and that would be very awkward to do without leaving home. 1 Brett M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
