FE2b 6992
« on: February 04, 2021, 10:22:14 AM »
Attachment - Its a start - but its not going to qualify for concours d'E - arthritic fingers see to that. WnW instructions continue to irritate by way of style over substance - page 15 - item 8 - piece B14 - if only that had been written by somebody who spoke English as a first language  :(. Still haven't traced a FE2b V undercarriage twin Lewis Gun technical drawing.

Hello 6992

Hope to see images soon.  Are you saying that those of us who haven't had the privilege of building a WNW kit yet should gird our loins and be prepared to improvise?

Cheers,

Hugh

Hi - tried to post a first image but the site rejected it. Can't be bothered with all this far-too-clever-for-it's-own-good "technology". A message appearing to tell me that I've used the wrong sort of MegaDigiTrogalisation means nothing to me. Got a life to lead.

With regards to WNW - their instructions lean towards being a triumph of style over substance. At first glance they look to be very clever, but they consistently fail to identify what parts actually are, which causes confusion - for example with the FE2b something as simple as the fuel filler cap has had me scratching my head because they refer to it but don't specifically identify it, and on top of that give contradictory advice as to material (hence colouring). "Instructions" which are written by people who assume a level of knowledge of the intended audience which is unrealistic are a constant irritation (to an engineer).
