Paul's Wyvern **DNF**

[novokits]

Nice job Paul!
excuse me for question: maybe undercarriage legs need rotated 180 degree?

[PaulBradley]

Aarrrgggghhhhh! That will teach me to read the instructions:



Frog got it wrong!

[novokits]

In the 70s "white" box, same instruction sheet? with the same error?

[PaulBradley]

Yes, original release. That will teach me to do my research - it will be difficult to fix.

[novokits]

Enthusiasts from Kharkov fixed this wrong.... (print quality left much to be desired) Unfortunately, the guys was are not able to restore the VC-10

[Zee28]

Oh man, bad luck with the undercarriage Paul. I must admit I would have done exactly the same thing, it's not the sort of thing you expect the instructions to get wrong, plus it looks 'Right' the way you've done it.

Paint looks very smooth to me, what's your concern with it mate?

[PaulBradley]

Well, the legs are stuck in with superglue - I'll never be able to prise them free in one piece. I may have to cut them and swap them over, but there'll be no strength. I'll have to see if I can add a short pin to each.

[Zee28]

Yeah, I suppose the only option is to cut them in a discreet place, drill them for insertion of some wire support and CA them back on. Not easy, not nice, good luck Paul, I hope it goes OK.

[PaulBradley]

Well, I was able to slice them off at a convenient point, put very short pins in and re-glue them 180 degrees around - and they didn't collapse overnight.....



I also coated the join with superglue, so it should be strong enough.

[bluesteel]

Great save Paul. Blame the FROG Instructionmeister for that one....

[novokits]

Wow! You're doing it!
Some correction in leaflet

[PaulBradley]

Cheers, Julian.

novokits - Wow - the Novo kit seems FAR more detailed than the Frog one....!

[novokits]

My fantasies, of course. However, the needed instruction sheet ... (if need be for the P-39, ask me )

[splash]

Well saved Paul.

With saves like that, you should get signed up for Man Untd, I gather they could do with some help

Cheers, Alan - well, I was an in-demand goalkeeper and wicketkeeper back in the day......

My fantasies, of course. However, the needed instruction sheet ... (if need be for the P-39, ask me )

lol! Fooled me!
