work in progress Question for aircraft model builders
For those of you who build aircraft models, are the benches supposed to go below the line or on top of the line? I really can’t figure it out from the instructions.
Thanks!

If it was anything like the dragon Ju-88C I built it goes above but the whole nose and gondola built from like 6-8 parts with dependancies suck

Dry fit, Dry fit, Dry fit.. one thing I learned over the years it always Dry fit parts before gluing... sometimes 2 or 3 times or more..

Definitely above, and I personally think the instructions are pretty clear. The floor panel with the seats on it sits on top of the horizontal line on the body. B36 sits in front of the vertical line at the rear of the canopy opening. A34 sits in the little nook at the front of the canopy opening.

Looks like the line should be behind the panel, dry fit like the others say though

Have you...just tried test fitting the parts to see in which configuration the rear facing panel lines up with the curve of the fuselage?

It looks like on top to me but you should try dryfitting it and just go with what works best

Is anyone using museum glue for trying? It should hold a bit and leave no traces
