 A lot of Takom M3 builders are complaining about having problems with gaps around the casement and for the second time I just followed the instructions without having any gaps. I don't know what the heck they're doing to get them.     I didn't glue the engine deck down yet,still need to install a part under it. Late Gents Tony lee  |

Another fine build Tony  As for the gap, maybe it’s your attention to part clean up before use? |

Steve I thought about that last night. I do cut the sprue nibs as close as possible to the part which reduces the amount of file or sanding on the mounting edges so I guess the extra effort I put into clean up does pay off. Thanks buddy Tony lee |

I've gotta say,I've thrown together the M31,and the Grant,and any gaps have been of my own making.Mainly due to me using a knife,rather than sanding stick for the sprue nubs!

For today's hat trick we'll get those bogies built.     I cut the centers out of the axles so I can install,remove and reinstall the road wheels before and after painting. Now i've got those tracks to contend with. Tony lee |

Shame there ain't an interior in there, looking at those open hatches shows that they can do some awesome detail  . |
