OK, I need help. I'm working on the limber for DML's Flak 36 which I've found to be an excellent kit with the exception of the instructions. They're trying to save maybe a page of paper by skimping on the instructions, so you end up with a drawing showing a half dozen parts already in place. Right. I'm digressing. Can anyone help me find the locating hole for the seat on the rear limber??? I've looked on cybermodeler's walkaround, and have a basic clue of where it goes, but it looks to have such a positive locating pin I can't believe I'm supposed to just glue it "in kind of the right area"... Anyone else made this?

Thanks in advance,
Mika

Have you seen the build blog by James Tainton on Planet Armor? On page 4 of this blog there is some pictures of the seat clearly attached. This may help.

Hi, Wouldn't Dragon REALLY be on top of the game if they're instruction quality matched the mold quality!

A set of instructions like the old Tamiya ones back in the '70s. Ah, sweet bliss.....

Take care, Sgirty
