James H Posted February 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2021 One thing you'll notice about building the 9 double frames for this model is that each is labelled A & B. These are generally built with 'B' on the plan first, but #12 and #13 are built with 'A' FIRST built. The reason behind this seems to be because the twist in at least #13 is opposite to the earlier gun port frame. Not sure of the reason for #12, but hey ho! As you're building, you'll notice that 'B' frames are built over the red lines, and 'A' over the purple lines. I think a good tip would be to glue the fillers onto the plan with glue you can peel, such as photo-mounting rubber cement. That way, it's a little easier to construct frame 'A' after 'B' is constructed. If you haven't, then you will find the outside bevelling marks on frames 'B' as good guide as where to lay the parts for 'A'. BE CAREFUL in ensuring that you get the laser etched bevel lines on the correct side of each assembly. Generally, you'll see the outside ones are upwards on each frame built, except for frames #12 and #13. As a quick guide to frame layout, you might find this useful. thibaultron, Edwardkenway and Ryland Craze 3 SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!
