ok guys this is driving me mad, any ideas on bending parts 1186,1185 without them breaking on my first try getting the right shape is impossible and eventually broke on my second try i tried to make to grooves deeper to enable easier bending but to no avail ,still not right and out of shape,i feel some scratch building on this part as i,m out of luck for once on this part

Hey rush,
Had the same problem, what I did was cut the two side pieces off, down the grooves that are INTENDED for them to be bent, I then stuck these pieces in the corresponding holes, and then glued the top piece too them,it worked fine in the end,
check by build for photos of it etc

Hi anybody noticed the error on page 354 the bismarck history and destiny. The photo of HMS Cossack is ww1 ship launched 1907 sold 1919, not HMS COSSACK from ww2. mike

ye i seem to get all the molded plastic parts deformed one of the aircraft had a bent tail,hot water sorted it out though ;D,chill seems to get parts missing.but i`ve found its quicker to let the newsagents send for a new copy than to use hachette
