F14A Tomcat - PART THREE

Building the model with the flaps positioned down is where the fun starts. I found the flap pieces do not fit the wings as well as they could. Troubles start with the "eyelid" doors. First off, the instruction sheet has these parts labeled backwards. Put C1 where the instructions tell you to put C8, and vice versa. Even when these pieces are on the correct side, they are still too thick to fit into the thin space between the upper and lower wing pieces. I ended up separating these doors into three pieces each, cutting and filing away some of their backing portions, to get them to go into place.
