I have just received pack 3 of the Spitfire
On checking the parts I found that wing ribs 4, 5, and 6 didn't look like the picture in the instructions, 5 not having feet and being a lot longer than 4 and 6. I am new to this type of build so any ideas please. The main spar was a bit like a banana but I hope that I can sort that out.
Attached photos show what I mean and the slots to the main spar are roughly in line, 4, 5, and 6 are the lower three. Or am I wrong!!

Hi Alemo,BigGrin

Just had a look at your wing ribs and would suggest that from top to bottom on your picture you have the ribs in this order.

4
2
3
5
1
6

Hope this helps. If not come back and will look further.

Thanks for the replies I think I have it sorted. Problem occurred because parts were in wrongly labeled packs and I'm not getting an overall view. I will wait until I have all parts and layout ribs before any fixing as Trev's post no 28.
Thanks again.

Hi Dnvrbronco I am sorry to read that you have had problems in all 4 deliveries, that's strange, I'm sure C/S can sort it out, if not you have your own FST USA.

Darbyvet (Carl) is your support member for the USA he will deal with the queries for you.

Hope this helps.
