Once we know the exact position straps can be fabricated from Bond notepaper and fixed with thinned down PVA.



The completed tank looking from the top & bottom and looking good,finish off with a coat of Johnsons Klear.
***There is a fault with the central metal crossbar shown in the pictures,this has been found to be some 6 mm too short ! how it ever got to this stage nobody knows ?,if you have not yet fitted the part then hold back until we know if Hachette intend on issueing a replacement which is doubtful,if this is the case then an home bade bar will need to be manufactured from brass rod with flared ends,if this is the case then instructions will be detailed here in the future.
Meanwhile enquiries are being made to the distributors.
