Started my Christmas Holiday ! One more kit on my bench.

 

I was a little bit confused because I bought 1/48 Camel, then saw 1/72 on the manual instruction🙄

I hope matching parts will fit better, there are lots of delicate pieces.

Wowzers, that's rough. 

 

I'm building one at the moment and the fuselage on mine is nothing like yours. As has been said send eduard an email and I'm sure they will replace this for you. 

 

They're normally pretty good at sending replacements

Obviously! thanks mate, filler pipe is to long maybe I'm blind🤣

Reference photo show tank with cap.

 

No problem.  The brass filler cap is screwed directly onto the tank. There is no filler tube on the original.   I don't know why kit makers continually perpetuate the myth that there is a long filler tube.

Anyway, its only a minor point if you want accuracy.

Keep up the good work.

Hallo 

The flat rigging I omitt. Because if twisted you have a mass. By double wires it is too dangerous.

Look at my rigging threads in the forum. Three  threads from eylets , rigging and tubes. From me it is essy to find in the profil.

Happy modelling
