Has anyone else purchased this model. Firstly the instructions are not correct, the bogies on step 6 have number allocated to them. Got over this by process of illimination but then moving to number 12 locating the upper and lower hull parts, i have no locating pins or holes to locate them. This is not my first tank and was excited to be building a new out model but this model has been ruined by bad quality control. Ive emailed in 3 weeks a go and noy heard a thing. What do i do next?/media/tinymce_upload/0e06b960e130ec688f23dcfeb197027c.JPG

Doing a little research here's what I've found:

 

1. The instructions appear to be derived from the original Academy instructions
2. Earlier issues of the kit had the pins/holes, later editions don't have them. This could be because of damage to the tooling or production problems

I don't see any major problem, there should be a tab at the rear of the upper hull that fits into a slot in the lower hull to position it. There is still a mating surface at the front, simply no pins, so either jig it up or use plenty of tape to hold everything in position while the cement/glue sets.

That 'modelling', not simply kit assembly!!
