Hi

Thanks to Erik's response to my previous post, I have started to glue the PE strips to the top of the fenders.

However, on the right side on fender section 3 and 6, I find that the PE part is incorrect in length. For section 3 it is too long (it has two parts MA27 and MA28). MA 28 is too long.

And on fender no 6, the PE part MA31, it is too short.

Now that most people have got a hold of the kit, could someone let me know if this is a problem or is it just me?

There are indeed problems with the length of a couple of PE strips.

Thanks for your response. I thought I must have screwed up somewhere.

Looks like I am going have to scratchbuild the strips.

BTW I read about the casting number on the turret. Nice touch! But I think I am going to change it to my birthdate :-)
