engine cover

Post by CHIEFSONN »

The 4 hooks on the engine cover are facing inward and should be facing outward, so to change this I used a razor knife and cut,scraped along the under side where they are glued in and then apply nail polish and give it a few seconds .and then I wiggle,pull them off. And when you are down with that there is the triangle,it is set to far after and should sit about centre with the hinge it is closest to. this also applies to the panther G I'm guessing I do not own one @ this time. I hope this helps.

The methos I used is this:

I used two little pieces of plasticard and a set of combination pliers that every self-respecting modeler / adult male should have:

Then simply sandwich the lifting hook between the two small pieces of plasticard before applying the pliers, and twist the lifting hook off. The plasticard will prevent the lifting hooks from becoming damaged and by twisting the hooks off they will sever neatly. After that only a little bit of trimming is required for a flat, smooth surface to re-glue them the proper way around.
