Why cant things be easy :)

Post by count_zero99uk »

I was carefully examining the parts from Squadron Box 1 and i noticed that infact all the saucers are different and the 2 body and warp engine sets are also different. Yet there are no assembly instructions.

Can anyone tell me what goes with what.

I can provide photos if needed.

I have to fly out now and will be back later.

Thanks again
Zero.

Saucer with a little box on the neck is the BC, and goes with the smaller aft-hull with the engines flat.

Big saucer is the DN and goes with the largest aft-hull (which also has it's engines flat and has a sensor dish on both ends). The separate engine with the short strut plugs into the top of the saucer.

The separate engines (with skinny struts) go in the cylindrical aft-hull, as does the remaining saucer (the one with no box on the neck) - this is the "Enterprise" type TV-ship.

The FF and oCL are one piece, so no troubles there.

There is a picture of these HERE.

Ok djdood thats great, ive worked out exactly what is what from that so thanks.

Mr Cole, ive gone through the box again, i have a card cover, 2 bits of foam the minis and a sheet of paper folded in half which has a dark picture of the 5 assembled minis on and the cost/info on and the painting information. There is no guide as such, unless the picture is it, and if so it may need reshooting or printing better.

Thanks for the replys as always.

Then why I do keep having difficulties gluing the engines on my Fed oCLs? And why do they keep breaking off if you so much as look at them funny???

And don't tell me it must just be me... they've been doing that for 15 or more years... :wink:
