Notdoneyet Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thoughts? Mish, That's MUCH better. If your bleed (or should that be bleeding?) gaps at the top are 1.5mm tall you've got it cracked. HTH, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 They are nearer 2.5 mm Ian, but I think if I do a bit of 'fitting' I can make it work. If you look at the overhead photo you can see that the intakes are a little too long so if I shorten them by 1mm I think they will fit better.

avro683 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Could the original measurements have been imperial and "new" ones metric perhap? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 The error has a direct connection to the new fuselage half. Someone got they're figures wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Mish - just sand a little off the top & bottom of the intake parts, then line them up at the bottom... that should lose enough thickness without risking sanding through one side or the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Mish... I've never been able to get one with Squadron Green putty, and as you've expended best part of a tube on your current builds this week, I'd like to donate an almost unused tube to your battle munitions.
