Part 192 = Entrance hatch window (Instructions state Part 187, which is also for the bomb bay)Īfter eventually getting these poorly fitting windows in place, and making and fitting a new one from clear sheet, I moved on to the nightmare of the nose windows. Part 191 = Oblique window for port side (Instructions state Part 188, which is for the bomb bay). I thought it strange that the window hadn't been moulded with a curve, so checked the other parts, and found just one curved window, called out as one of the bomb bay door windows, and another camera port window shown as the one for the entrance hatch !Īnyone who is thinking of building this kit beware - the Part numbers should read :. I spotted this after one window slipped down the fuselage and launched itself into the abyss, never to be seen again, when I went to fit the oblique window in the port fuselage. I'd seen a few reviews some time ago, mentioning problems with the camera port windows - I'm not surprised, the instructions have got the part numbers transposed ! Spent over two hours fighting with the camera port and nose windows today ! Good stuff on the drawings, and yes, the center part is a leather 'cuff' around the base of the control column linkage. Thanks Andy, I too thought the b ar was either for pulling the door shut, or perhaps a mod for reinforcement.
