Schweinebacke Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hello I am starting to build this model but right in the beginning of the instructions you have the options of retracted or extended forward hydro planes. I want it with extended ones but I can't figure out what you have to remove or scrape off to fit them. Thanks for your help. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm Lord De Univers Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hi Thomas, I don't have the instructions nor this kit, but if you can post pics of them I'll definitely try to help. Otherwise I'd suggest searching 'britmodeller airfix Trafalgar' online and trying to see if you can view what others have done in a build log. I see @SimonLbuilt a really good looking one here, and might be able to help? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orso Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I built two but can't remember that there were anything strange with this. Isn't there a marking for the small hole to be opened on the inside of the hull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 In the corner of sections 3 and 4 of the instructions, it shows you where to remove half-circles of plastic to allow the extended hydroplanes to fit. Instructions on Scalemates. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hi Thomas, sorry I’m not sure I can be any help - it was such a long time ago I built my example. I vaguely remember doing what @davecov suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
