Modelarium Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Have got the Tamiya KT with production turret on the go & using the Aber PE set but am struggling with the anti mine mesh screens that were fitted to the forward end of the rear engine decks & sat almost directly under the turret bustle. I've formed them ok with the correct curve to them but the lugs fitting them to the deck seem to compromise the deck plates sitting astride joints. ABer show the lugs toes out which makes sense but I can't find any ref pics online that show this, were the lugs toe in & fitted from inside the mesh so to speak.

A photo would make your problem a lot clearer and make it easier for us to help.......Aber kits are usually very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I don’t have many of the engine deck, these are reasonably clear though I don’t think they answer your question: Andy did a video build of one here: 5:32 onwards.

Longbow Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yup. What Steve and Simon say. A phot of your deck, and screens fitted, would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Is this it? 1/35 German King Tiger (Ardennes Front) (w/Aber® Photo-Etched Parts & Metal Gun Barrel) https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/25144king_tiger/index.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelarium Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Cheers for the replies & yeah no pic doesn't help but not being able to paste images into posts is a pain. I haven't used image hosting sites for years. SimonT's Aber link & post picks up the screens but the tools hide the fixing location of the lugs. I think I've sussed it after finding some hi-res versions of the B&W pics Simon posted earlier. Aber are great but sometimes the instruction graphics are very sloppy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Glad you’re sorted. Any chance you could share the link for the higher res images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
