Thanks David, I could not think of a way of approaching Admin about this matter, you have explained the point for me, personally I am pretty worried about all the parts that make up rib 15 and dare not carry out any remedial repairs in case the matter worsens...thanks again mate...

Hi there

Please leave this with me as I'll have to do a bit of investigating - but I'll get back to you asap!

Thanks
Admin

Cheers Admin, much appreciated, I think the longer we stared at it the more we questioned it lol, if you need any pictures to show anyone, just chuck me a message.

Best wishes
David

Mine is going to need quite allot of fairing lol







What is going to go on top of the ribs, (The very top) will they be covered with plywood so you wont see them?

And mine is exactly the same.

Bit reluctant to start any planking (can't anyhow as those editions have not arrived) as i think this could get a lot more difficult to correct once more bits are added to the hull.

Already seen one fix that involves cutting the offending part off and resetting it at the correct angle.

If the magazine fix is going to be "take some heavey grade sandpaper and away you go" this may help get the external planks on ok but the inner part of the frame 15 at deck level will not com in far enough if that makles sense.

Its going to be a great shame to pursue this build only to have to "cobble" it up near the end.

nice comments and nice of you to bring this matter up loanstar,and if you dont mind i would like to put my thoughts to this on your thread...

surley if some have correct parts and some have incorrect parts this is going to effect the inner surface on the later build for those with fauly parts? if someone has the correct 15a and b parts perhaps they could trace these for us? and scan to a file? then we might be able to correct the parts by making a piece as admin seem reluctant to replace faulty manufactured parts.
so far i have not started a single bit of the build and at the moment i dont plan on starting until we are well into the offical build log and others findings when building to see if these errors people are finding are going to be something the less experienced or like me total novice are going to be able to correct and end up with a model worthy of the £700 this is going to cost or are we are going to end up with more and more errors ,incorrectly made parts and additional costs for "extras"
i do feel at the moment that deagi are putting thier heads in the sand a bit and thier quailty control is a bit on the shabby side with the errors found so far and only 22 issues into a 120 issue build.
Is the kit this partwork based on better than what we are being offered on a weekly basis?

i have a simply comment.

it is your legal right to demand faulty parts be replaced or refunded.

it is the law of the united kingdom, of england, ireland and scotland, and most other parts of the world.

if deag refuse to replace ANY faulty part you can simply speak to a solicitor and sue them for malpractice.

see how they like that? im pretty sure 10 or more notification of legal action letters would scare the "£%$ out of them.

doob
i bet you they wont

Hi All

We'd like to reassure you all that there is no cause for concern about the shape of frame 15. As we say in the magazine, it's important to fair the hull frames thoroughly, but you will have no problems, so long as the frames are thoroughly sanded to give a smooth run to the planks.

The model shown in the magazine has been built from exactly the same parts you have, and over the coming issues you'll see all the planking building up step by step to cover the entire hull. Watch out for our Expert Tips and troubleshooting hints to help you over any of the trickier points in the construction.

Thanks
Admin

Where any part of the deck exceeds the outer edge of the frames, the deck needs to be sanded back.
