Hello, can I ask one good fellow to relay some physical measurements, in millimeters, of the lengths of both cabane and interplane wing struts. (minus the insertion points).
Building the Eduard kit, and after shortening the cabane ones, I still find things are ill fitting. Comparing to Osprey publication drawings, I seem to have arrived at the proper distance between the wings, but the outer struts still come up short, so am thinking I need to add some length to those.
Yes, I've got the the pair of interplane struts switched around, front one is placed at rear and the back one moved to the forward position.
Using calculations from a sprue shot of the Wingnut Camel struts. The outer ones look to calculate to a close match for those from Eduard, but can't obtain a true measure for the cabane ones since they are at an angle in the photograph.
.... but after another calculation using the wheels as basis of comparison, I'm finding the lead strut on the outer wing needs to be 1mm longer on the Eduard kit.
regards,
Jack
