Just punch the holes!
Posted by nsclcctl on Tuesday, December 2, 2003 7:26 AM
Workin on the Hasegawa Kate and much to my chagrin, as I was looking where to place the torpedo, wallah, I forgot to punch out the holes. Hasegawa, in their endeavor to avoid impressions, did not leave any sign of them on the outer side of the wing. So, here I am with the plane assembled and no place to put the torpedo becasue It is hard to figure. Anyway, I will figure and once again, should have looked more closely at these darn instructions with their dark numbers, light nuimbers, boxed numbers, letters, squiggly lines, and on and on. Just have to do some measurin and figurin. Anybody else ever do this?

Been there, done that. Try holding it up in front of a bright light or flood lamp and you may be able to see them, then again, maybe not.

I guess it happened to all of us.

Last Kit I build part of my Decals got ruined and I decided to use different markings.
Alas, the ordnance also differed so I had to fill in tsome of he holes I had opened and look of the others for the new ordnance.
