Thanks guys!

Had a major set back that I have no idea how it happened and whether it's my fault or the kits. While working on it I noticed that the nose gear bay isn't sitting the way it should. Going back and looking at the instructions, I placed it in the spots provided. With the fuselage closed up, there's no way to tell if it's in the right spot or if it moved. Not sure how to fix this without destroying the model.

Thin plastic sheet stock? Cut to fill? That will be a tough one, though.

I read one review just now that said that the nose gear bay is a trouble spot that can result in the same problem I had. So it's 80% the kits fault and 20% mine for not seeing that.

Is there a repair on the table for this one? Would love to see this one move forward.

I tried fixing it but nothing worked. I'll go back to it later after I get some stuff done on the bench.

Good idea... put it aside and work on something else for now. Eventually a workable idea may appear in your minds eye.
