I picked this model up the other day at the hobby store and it's going to be my first real aircraft model. I just have a question about the tail sections. They don't seem to fit flush against the aircraft. Would there have been a space there to allow movement, or should I try to redo it so it is flush against the body? Here are some pics of what I got done already. Also, any other suggestions would be welcome.

Hi Brad,

You did the tail right, they suppose to have a gap there. so the tail can move around.

Brad she is coming along great.

I can't beiieve I am going to say this, but Dave is right #:-) :-) . The tail is right. Here is a pic I hope will ease your feeling about the tail.



Notice the daylight between the tail and the rest of the plane. Hope the pic helped.

Notice the ground crew having a bad day in full chem gear...heh

WOOHOO, I DON'T HAVE TO REDO IT!!! Thanks for the help guys.

Take another look at your ejection seat pulldown handels.I do believe you have them upside down.Simply pluck them off and turn em over and you'll be set

I think they are just bent up. They had a peg that fits down into a hole in the back of the seats. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll double check it just to make sure.
