Hi Rich and a warm welcome to the forum... All of the information you need to mark out the gun ports starts with issue 35. Would also recommend you look at Mr T's official diary. In addition, page 40 onwards on my diary also shows how I went about marking and cutting out the gun ports and would suggest you have a look through this.... Should you still have concerns then please get back to me....Cool Cool .. Have provided a link to the relevant section on my diary....

Hope this helps..

Regards

Alan

Issue 35 shows all you need, mark out the model for the port placements as shown in the instructions. The measurements are indentical on both sides of the model as is the positioning of the gun ports and entry ports.

Double check your port measurements and the positioning of each port in relation to the magazine step images BEFORE you cut-out each port. Each port should be 13mm wide and 12mm tall.

Note that step 13 shows the positioning of the port to the right of frame 16 to be 15mm aft, and the port look almost central between frame 16 and 20, which is also reflected in later step images of appearing almost central between the two ports above as shown at step 16. However, you may find that the 15mm measurement at step 13 should be closer to 20mm for the port to appear almost central between frames 16 & 20. Subsequent magazine images show this port to be almost central.
