Just make sure that any screws set into the bases to secure the frame to a build board, are located inwards of the slot at the bottom of each frame; later on, further ply plate's are slotted into these frame slots that run bow to stern and sit on the edge of the base plates.

I always wanted a raptor but need to join club to fly it as they quite large. I had a Rex 450s buy sold it. I would like another in the near future though. The Trex 500 look good but battery prices are high still. E raptors are dear also. But who knows maybe see a second hand on eBay. Lol. I must get my sim out again. The little Trex looks smart. Saw a vid of it the other day , nifty little thing. And cheap. Chris. On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Only thing I would say, is that I strongly advise you mount the base onto a build board before tackling the hull planking whch is to be sure a banana boat won't take shape, and locate the base fixing screws to the inner side of the bottom frame slots

Hi MWG
It appears there was a packing error with some of the pack 2's hence the duplicate, we've now sorted the problem
Thanks
