I figured it would be a good day for a simple build....NOT!
I got to Step2 before things went awry.
Has anyone built the ScaleKits "D-series" Falcon? There are some major screwups on my kit. Either the fin patterns are off...or the instructions...or both.
If I cut the fins as instructed the aft fins are too small. The fin pattern sheet shows the forward fins as being 3 pieces. If I cut them like this, they will be too big...and there is not enough wood to do this anyway.
And the dimensions given for the fin placement on the body tube are off.
I'm supposed to cut the two dowel so I have 4 pcs 2 3/4" long....only there isn't enough dowel to do this.
GOOD GRIEF...it would have been easier to scratch build this. Plus a lot cheaper too!
Fin option A
