Step 14 - “The Sum of All Fears” - Hull Assembly.
Putting the various subassemblies together is always the most stressful part of a build to me. Assuming the manufacturer’s kit had excellent fit, there’s always the concern something built last week is slightly off and will cause issues.
Inspected the subs one last time before taking the plunge.
Right out of the gate, test fitting run into issues with fenders fitting correctly. Perfect front and rear but no cigar in the middle. The tab colored black on the tip near the middle return roller appeared to be the issue for both fenders. I think it’s for one of Stug III’s that share the lower hull.
I think Dragon should have pointed out this needs snipped in the instructions, assuming I didn’t jack something up elsewhere…[aka nap]
Post surgery…
…oh if anyone is wondering why the torsion bars are cut…let’s just say I didn’t notice A1 & A2 were different parts until they were mixed…the hour to sort that error wasn’t counted in the build time etc.
Anyway Kali Kat is bored and wants attention…to be continued…
