T-14 and K-17 Build

In Step 5 of the upper hull construction, the instructions call out for one C75, but the picture shows two and there are two on the sprues. One other issue was on the right side of the hull where Parts B55 and B56 needed to be attached, there were no locating holes. So I had to drill locating holes. Part C74 also did not have a locating hole, so one was drilled out.

The top rear hatches where tight on the hinges and made the bar between the hinges bend and curve. There are two solutions to fix this, replace the bar with plastic rod or cut the original bar and trim to fit. I did the trimming and used liquid cement to soften to get a better fit.

Final issue was the side rails. They where fragile coming off the sprue and bent and warped really bad. So I chose to replace them with copper wire. The rest of the upper hull went together without any hitches.

Next for the Bumarang will be paint of course. As for the T-14, just like the turret, the hull is proving to have a few short comings.
