Ton van Munsteren Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Designing a model is never perfect, thats why there is always a prototype build on a new model to sort out some mistakes which can happen. But it looks like that part is way off , maybe its from another model (lol) Great pics and what do you think about the construction using those tube. Cheers Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff noble Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 hi ton didn't expect perfection and we didn't get it . like the idea of the tubes quite light and stiff on top of it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electriflier Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Pleased to hear you've overcome the problems with the obviously ill-fitting parts. The first and second pictures highlight the discrepancies clearly. Have you had to remake new ribs for this area? Nice work so far......
