    Cheers mate I can't see anymore problems other than filling gaps and the instructions being wrong.

    It tells you to look for a part on a sprue and it's clearly not there so you have to look on all the others to find it by site

    The parts are there it's just you have to go on a bit of a magical mystery tour to find them lol

        I remember getting a kit many years ago and the instructions showed a sprue with part and the parts were missing. I looked high and low and convinced myself that either they had fallen off or I had removed them. Turns out that it was a fault in manufacturing and others had the same problem.

          I'll try to remember that when I do mine.

          Looks great so far.

                Nice work Alan, a different build procedure with the nose section built like that.

                  Cheers guys,

                  I agree Joe I just hope it fits with the rest of the fuselage, it seems like it will but so did the nose at first

                    Just thought id give a heads up now so I don't forget when take photos

                    The instructions for the engines are backwards

                    Parts G6 goes with G22 and the part numbers for the fans are the other way around

                      Update , I've fixed the main body to the nose and it's fitted quite well although there was a slight twist in the fuselage so I heated it with a hair dryer on high heat and twisted back into shape

                      The engine section is a little big so I had to file it down by quite a bit

                      The engines were a bit awkward ( see post above ) once problem worked out they were straight forward.

                      The instructions are the real problem with this kit [ATTACH]76875.IPB[/ATTACH]

                            Update: big problem in the instructions ! I'm missing pages 14 and 15 and these show you how to build the dorsal tail fin

                            Part numbers you need to complete the tail fin are

                            G17, G29, H7 , I28 and PE 4,5

                            Missing pages will also have other parts to be added and as soon as I find them I will inform you all

                                I can't seem to get the instructions for it , it just asks me to leave a comment , but I'm thinking this will only give me the instructions I have , it's a printing issue at the manufacturers not missing pages , I have two page 16s and one of those are on the back of page 13

                                I suppose I should have said that lol

                                But thanks for your help anyway
