Andwil Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Nice collection, thanks for posting. AW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Great work on this Xtrakit Shar. And done so quickly. Mine has been sitting almost finished for about 6 years. Apart from the canopy problem, which I solved by having it open, I just couldn't get it to sit properly on all four wheels. It looks great in the box, and on the box painting but it's hard, hard work. I think I just gave up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Tip learned from Harrier SIG for 4 points of contact: Trim the locating peg of the centre leg, such that it can be fitted shortened. Then fit the nose and outrigger legs. When they're set fit the centre leg, adjusting to ensure 4-point contact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I may have done it inadvertently recently when building an old Airfix. GR3. Anyway you've galvanised me to go and find the bits and finish mine off. Once again you've done an outstanding job on this in double quick time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
