Graham T Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I found the cockpit & engine to be the worst aspects. If you haven't assembled the engine yet, don't add the short exhaust pipes that feed into the cowling ring (parts 55) until AFTER you have inserted the engine into the cowling. Here's a link to my build of the kit as a Sea Gladiator (same basic kit with the addition of the arrestor hook). http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234922681&hl=%2Bsea+%2Bgladiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
