I had a few minutes today so I thought I'd start the build. What I thought I'd do is take a pic after each step and post them. There are a total of 51 steps so I may skip a few or combine some.
There is a quick problem at the end of this post that I hope someone has some insight in specifically dealing with this model.
Anyway......
The first two pics are those of the packaging and then some laid out on the table I'll be doing most of my build from.
Step 1. Bind nuts into the firewall
Step 2. Bind nuts into Wing Mount
Step 3. Wing Mount Plate into Former
Step 4. Building the Hatch. - This is where I came to a dead stop. I could not find the braces in the package. Here is a pic of the instructions. What I couldn't find are the three braces that come up from the bottom.
I sent a quick email to the folks at MM asking if I'm actually missing it or if it could be a piece on another sheet that I may be glossing over.
I stopped here since this is my first balsa model and didn't want to go too far into the model skipping steps along the way.
I know this is a long shot but has anyone who has built this model run into the same issues and then found the piece where they didn't expect to find it. The pieces are small enough that I'm guessing that they did not come packaged individually.
Thanks guys/gals and hope everyone is staying warm.
