Crane Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi Folks, I posted this in my build, sorry if duplicate, but I have the weekend off and want to work on the corsair. I did not create the hole for the mast (missed it in the directions). And there is no mark visible for me to know where to start. Can someone help out and give me an accurate measurement in millimeters from the panel line outlined in red to the center of the mast so I know where to start drilling?

dogsbody Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've just checked both of my kits and nowhere does Tamiya say where exactly to put it. There is nothing on either fuselage half to indicate where. The only thing I can see in the instruction is the diagram showing it fitted just to the rear of that section with the pilot's headrest, no more than a millimetre, probably less. That would be the side to side red line on your picture. Just aft of that. My 2 cents. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crane Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 So if you look at the fuselage halves, there is no dimple in the plastic circled in red? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
