The instructions specify the front wall with eye holes, for option 5, as you pointed out.
But I think they’re wrong. Because this is the actual Tiger “211”.

Anyway, it doesn’t affect you.
But just to let you know, I wrote my own list of features for the decals.

So how am I doing so far?

I’m building and posting mine as well. Do you have any warpage in yours? I had to force the hull out to get the bow to line up. Everything is dry fit on mine now.

Thanks
Andy

Regarding the exhaust caps. Where does it say to use no cap for decal option #4 ?
I’ve seen the instructions offering them as alternates but without an explanation (Step 9).
The paint-scheme artwork shows the cap installed on all of the Tigers - as I would expect.

If you look closly at the colored Pics of the options you can see the flaper valve covers they can’t be seen on the others.
It’s just what I see.
The tops of the exhausts are shown as being flat except for # 4
I just checked again all the Pics. except for #4 show the 5 bolt patern on top #4 has what looks like a round part with a small arm.
The instructions don’t say which one to use.
I’m just going by what the Pics. show.

I corrected the Bolt patern on the Handles.


They are more in line with the locking bars.

Good for you - that looks like a difficult thing to fix. Do ask me if something coming up seems a little suspicious.

I did a little painting , almost all of the parts I painted might not be seen , It’s just easier to paint them now rather than try to paint them through the Deck Screens.


If my info. is correct the lower surfaces were just primed , the same for inside and backs of the road wheels.




I’m finished for today
Regards

I have some more finished.










Finished for today.
The top is a really tight fit.
I think Pic. #58 & #59 show a longer armored bar is coming.
Well gotta go.
