Hey guys, building Hasegawa's 'Sundowners' kit and I'm having an issue aligning the exhausts properly. The top half of the fuselage assembly wants to point the exhaust cans slightly down while the bottom half of the assembly wants to point them parallel to the ground.

Which is it?

Your best bet is to look at a picture. You'll see that the engines do indeed point downwards. Hasegawa Phantoms are famous for having this nasty little fit issue. A little sanding will correct it.

Ah, I know Hasegawa in particular do their best to rebox what they can to make different models; and thus far haven't had fit issues and while I have looked at line diagrams I wasn't sure of which model the diagram could be for.

Thanks for confirming it for me Jessie.
