Just got one. it's a bit small as a millimetre out in measurement would be 21.5mm out on the model, things wouldn't fit together on the chassisHave you thought about something like this.

What are you using to measure, you need to be using a good Vernier as you have already said what diff 1mm makes.Just measured a wing on that model and according to that my wing is 3 inches too short and an inch too wide
Can you not do it by looking at lots of pics on tinternet, blowing them up then comparing them all to something of known dimension, like a headlight?Just measured a wing on that model and according to that my wing is 3 inches too short and an inch too wide
The ocasional 20mm panel gap on a tratter just makes it realistic.Just got one. it's a bit small as a millimetre out in measurement would be 21.5mm out on the model, things wouldn't fit together on the chassis
Havin fun building it though, problem is I got glue on the windscreen and cant get it off. Solution is to buy some Tunnocks tea cakes and use the film from the box to cut another one from, might have to eat the tea cakes
Buy a big magnet -----Managed to get out and took the screws out of the rear panel on the Pluriel's hatch, hoping it would then just fall off.
Well, it didn't but I could pull it away to havea bit of a look see at the "works". Having done tjhis it suddenly started clicking and whirring the way it used to.
I silicone lubed the catches as I had discovered that if I pressed on the righ hand one while "actuating" the push switch thing on the outside of the hatch, it would unlock/open.
So I simply put all the screws back in to hold the panel in place, checked is still worked when closed, and closed it all up as it had starte4d to rain by then.
No idea what went on, so just hopeful it'll carry on working.
Not brave enough to put the spare wheeel etc back where it normally lives and raise both rear seats though!
Having possibly lost that locking wheel nut socket in the gravel, (yes they are big bits, none of your "tread me in the house all the time" pea gravel here!) and the occaisonal screw, ditto over in F land. I suggested to W that it might be an idea to get a cheap metal detector.
She was all over it like a rash so one is now ordered "for your birthday" which as you know passed a while back! It might be interesting to see what I can turn up! "What do you give the man who has everything? A detector so he can find it!"
Will I find that 1" socket?!
And no it isn't going to be a cheap one either.
Good call, you can go mag fishin inna river anorl..
