Hi, I have had a non working trumpeter tiger which I bought off ebay a few years back for 20 pounds with electric problems...anyway, got it off the shelf and I decided to open it up...can I hell!....is it me or am I having a blond moment? -I can not see the screws holding the hull together

Any help would be appreciated...before I rip it apart

Nic

Aren't they like the HL's and you have to remove the tracks.

Nope...when you try to pry the two pieces apart, you can see the same sort of screw sprues that are on the heng long ...but no screw heads outside?????....aaaaaaarrrgh!

Nic...

Two screws upper engine deck. There are two filler caps behind the grills, round with a cross in them.

Check these they should pop out if I remember correctly. The plugs themselves are square in shape, for location purposes one is near the fire extinguisher.

Thanks Lmn118!...will try that in the morning

My first WSN I took apart they were in very tight, the amount of force needed to "pop" them was high enough the thing hit me in the face and the second one bounced right across the room!

It can be difficult to remove them without leaving a mark or damage unfortunately.

Guess what...read this to late...well, the third screw is under the front fan cover..I used a screwdriver to get under neath, it then pinged off into next doors garden!...last I saw of that ...you were right about leaving marks tho!
