Hi Folks, Been working on the Ammunition wagon of the Trumpeter K5 kit and have run into a question. Don't know how this will apply to those who are building Dragon's kit as I don't know how this company is representing this particular part, maybe somewhat the same I would have to guess, more or less.

This is dealing with parts B14, 15, and 16. These pieces look to me to represent maybe the engine's air cleaner system, as it kind of looks something like the air cleaners on the early Tiger tanks, since it's rectagular in shape with rounded ends to it. Anyway, these parts, once assembled, have four very small PE pieces that go on it, two on front and two on the back. At the tops of these pieces, where they stick up above the top of the plastic piece, there is a small hole in each them. My question is I was wondering of these 'holes' in the PE pieces may be for a 'wire' inserts going through and conneting to both sides, for whatever reason?

So I was about to remove the heart of an old eletronic 'mouse' anyway, like the Aztecs giving homage to their gods through the sacrifice of war captives, and I thought this may be a good place to try some of those itty-bitty wires in this thing, if maybe that is what these 'holes ' may be for.

Just curious......., Thanks and take care, sgirty
