Yep, lots to choose from.

I have quite a few that would fit the bill, including some not ordinarily thought of. I'm in.

I'm still interested Dennis!

Thanks! Out here in Arizona, it IS nothing but the best!🤣

Ah, now I see my confusion! A mistake by the management! In the title of the Bunfight, if you hover on it, it comes up that it locks at 4:59 UK! Then, down below, discussing the Bunfight, it says it locks at midnight!

Exactly...note my signature.

So, where are the results? Isn't it way past time?

As I have noted before, problem solved by marring my second wife, whose first hubby was so bad that she's happy that MY hobby and interests are easy to live with!

For decades the variation of that joke here in the States was, There were two farmers raising pigs, and they decided that their goal was to win first place at the County Fair for the largest pig. So they fed and fed the chosen animal, and he got just so big, and no more. They observed to each other that the pig was eating all that they gave it, but it just came out the other end. So it was decided to stop that nonsense by sticking a cork in the rear end. Sure enough, it worked- the pig got bigger and bigger until it was almost the size of an elephant. They took it to the fair, won first place! They got it back to the farm, and had a conversation about what to do about the pig. "You know we have to remove the cork- you want to do it?" "Heck no, why don't YOU do it?" So they decided to train a monkey to remove corks, put the pig out in a field, hired a helicopter to lower the monkey on a rope down to the pig while they stood far off with binoculars. The big moment came as the monkey went down the rope, reached out to the cork...and everything went black! After they picked themselves up, one said to the other, "What did you see?" "The last thing I saw was the monkey trying to put the cork back in!" Hey, a good joke is a good joke anywhere!

No apologies needed! And we ARE dealing with a bit of a time difference, here. It's no wonder it wouldn't fit! It DOES go where/how I thought it should go. There usually isn't much flash to "clean up" on a Hasegawa kit, and they are pretty precise, fit-wise. I am not used to having to cut away actual molded plastic to make something fit on their kits! Not expected at all, so I thought I must be wrong. I recently built a Revell Su-57, and the mating of the intakes and engines was poorly engineered, a lot of surgery required. I am very surprised at Hasegawa. Surgery done, parts glued in place. Thanks VERY much for riding to the rescue! So, it wasn't just the cold making my head fuzzy! Dave

Thanks so much, for any help!

Any news for me?

I'm looking at videos, hoping I'll find one that shows that part being assembled. If I don't figure it out, this kit will headed for the shelf of doom.

Is the part supposed to be glued BEHIND the part of the fuselage?

Thanks for your attempt, but I simply can't get it to fit in any way. This was a brand new, sealed kit, I cut the parts off the sprues myself; I don't understand it.
