Would anyone happen to have a closeup shot of the etched pionere tool claps on Dragon's Tiger I 3-in-1 kit? Getting these minute things together was challenge enough, but the instructions don't show a good pic of how these things are supposed to look when finished. I've been fiddling with them, but cant seem to get a tight clamp on the shovel, etc.

For reference, assembly is in step 10 and the clamp (seven of them) are labelled as "C" (Parts MB-2, 3 and 4).

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

on the right, their will be a little rectangle in which you choose the areas on the tank you wish to see. Go to rear deck and look at image "0" this should give you a look at what the clamps should look like.

Thank you Frank!

That was exactly what I needed!

i know how you felt mate, i kinda looked at the instructions puzzled for over a week trying to figure how it would work! lol

Richard Craig has shown us his DAK Tiger a few weeks ago. You may find those close-up pictures useful.

Here is another one, unfortunately there is no close-up shots. I have no association with this shop.

Thanks Donald. Those photos help out as well!

I gave up on them after spending an evening on one clamp - I just can't hardly see the bits, let alone put them together - so I copped out & used the tools with moulded on clamps. They look OK to me. Three pieces that small to make a tool clamp is just silly in my view. However it has been a useful experience for me. Having not used PE before, I now know I'll never bother buying an AM set!

I felt the same way after trying to assemble an Aber tool clamp. Next time I get the urge to use PE I'm going to try some Eduard clamps. They are ONE piece that you fold to make the finished clamp. They aren't workable like Aber's but I couldn't assemble them to work anyway !!!
