Hello everyone, having some issues I hope can get resolved with the many of you with the experience and knowledge.
I have the 2019 KT - # 19
The bowed lower sides of the bottom of the hull have been straightened as well a new plate for the rear of the tank ( thanks AT )
Problems I’m running into mainly are the front “puzzle” lower and upper sections. Off the hull the puzzle dry fitted has no issues, but once on the hull it won’t line up with the bottom tapped holes for the screws to join them and the upper side of the hull is off by a few. Pictures below should help, at least I hope!
Thanks, Bryan
Anyone AT modelers near Chicago?

Lower hull front plate fit issues

- Ironically loosely in place the top deck plates fit with no gaps
-
- Front won’t line up with rear of the tank. If I lower the rear plate it’s still off
-
- Front has a lot of wiggle room
-
- Connection for bottom puzzle to tie into the side of the lower hull

Re: Lower hull front plate fit issues
Forgot to add this as well, I think if I shave off some the metal of the front it may fit.
But wanted some advice before I started cutting any metal.

- If I cut some of this off, I may be able to get it seat properly with the rear plate
