Hi there, new to the forum so apologies if this has been asked before. I did a quick check but couldn't see a similar topic.

I live in the UK and I've reached issue 93 of the Falcon build. But I seem to have quite a few sprues (or plastic frames) with 'plant on' details for the outer hull. With some issues, it said to apply some of the detail and to keep the rest for later on.

There's only seven issues left to come so I'm just wondering if these last magazines will tell us where to put these hull details (once the two halves of the hull have been connected) or if I've missed something?

Also, I'm intending to purchase the mains adaptor when it becomes available so is it safe to remove the battery box altogether or is still needed along with the adaptor (which I doubt because that would defeat the object, no?!)

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

BigGrin Hi Jules and welcome to the forum, as for the spare bits a lot can be added in the last few issue's so dont worry too much about those parts as they will be used. As for the battery box I would wait until you have all the issue's then decideCool

Phew! That's good to hear, thank you for the prompt reply.

Just one other question. The airbrush kit you can buy from the store, is it suitable for the Tamiya acrylic paints?

Hi Jules and welcome to the form. The airbrush kit in the shop is suitable for Tamiya acrylics. They will need thinning for the airbrush. I use Tamiya in my airbrush all the time.BigGrin

Welcome to the forum Jules

Don't worry about all the left over plant on details as you'll find these are added in the final issues. Issue 100 especially covers applying a large amount of the left over plant on details BigGrin Cool

If are going to use the power adapter then you can permanently remove the battery box, just bear in mind it's still needed for testing the electrics throughout the build e.g..Issue 94 will have you testing the switch when you start applying the side panels
