Dragzz,

 

I have the same slip from 10 or 12 years ago when I did mine.  It was warped also.  As I recall, that track is screwed down.  I just soaked it, ran a line down the baseboard and screwed it down (and glued it) so the warp came out.  It's sitting in my wood/tool storage area and is still straight.

Have just started the WASA Billings 490 and have just signed up for the forums. Lots of interesting stuff to read. Looking forward to seeing how you are getting on. When I have settled in some more I post some pics myself. JM

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai commencé le montage de la maquette du Wasa il y a fort longtemps.......Ma vie pro ne m' pas permis de l'achever, ma retraite va maintenant y contribué, mais hélas, mon plan A0 n'est plus utilisable (il part en poussière) qui aurait la gentillesse de me guider pour acquérir un plan neuf ou facilement utilisable. je vous en remercie.

Bobair, Billings still sells the fitting kit, go for it! cost is around $125
