Bit more progress albeit very slow, the following shows probably why.
1. Railings and ladders, more to go on yet.
2. Catapult, looks very nice but is hopelessly wrong. As it is, there's no room to fit the railings around the boat deck. Also, the catapult should lay at an angle of around 10-15 degrees to the centreline of the turret, not much I can do about it but I can create room for the railings by swinging the turret around so it looks as though the aircraft is about to be launched, nobody will know.
3. X turret as fitted is actually touching the tripod assembly and preventing it from sitting down properly, there should be a gap of about 1mm between the tripod and the turret.
4. Here's the "engineering" solution, not quite so easy to do at this stage of the build.
5. Fixed.
You would have thought Trumpeter would have corrected these errors before releasing the kit!!!!!!
Haddock.
