struts done...

I'm a little leary about where exactly to place the stuts, Gearz. Do they go flush with the top and then flush with each end? That's where they were on the beta...so I guess that's where I'll stick 'em....

Is it just me or does the overall design look like an ant on skis?

I don't mean your design, I mean the one from the show.

 

[Gearz]

Yep .. flush with the ends and top..There's placement gfx on pages 6 and 7 of the AG..

I've alway said "An alligator on water skis" myself.

design note...

one of the "MID LB ARMS" is missing a tab...

LB's are attached, had some trouble getting all three points to attach on the starboard side, but due to build technique, not design....

 

[Gearz]

Oooops Panic attack ! If its not to late... I should have pointed out a potential nuisance with the engine ducting parts. Regardless of any modifications they will need, In my rush to forward it, I've left a bunch of tiny flaps on a majority of the ducting parts, = I should have removed them on the bitmaps..

Sorry about that guys.!

:cry:

 

[doc_harvey]

There's a tab missing on part #8 (upper "shoulder" part of engine module)

 

[Gearz]

Thanks Doc ..all corrected up to this point..

engine module so far...

Hit a major snag with the build....the lower right shoulder on the engine module was a complete pain in the backside to line up properly....I had to tear it off...luckily the engine module itself is still relatively intact, so it should be an easy fix....I'm looking through my lil black bag 'o tricks to see if I have some small gauge balsa wood to slide through the length of the section that gets glued up against the side of the engine....gotta print out a new lower shoulder now....pics soon...
