Manu,

Great standard as we have come to expect! I just can't believe the speed you build. The glimpses we see of the other two look excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Manu,

just read this whole thread and I am excited to get working on mine as I have it ordered. I do have a few questions for you and sent you a PM.

hey Manu,

after seeing this great WIP I started working on my RA-107 today but I discovered a problem... The fake resin engine :lol: doesn't fit with properly the body... right side is perfect but I have a "huge" gap on the left side. Do you had that on your kit too, if yes how do you fixed it?

no gap

Yep already done that. I tried to thin everything as much as possible but you can see the result above :lol:
Before I couldn't even screw the body and undertray together... I had a 3-4mm gap between the two parts. But that's fine now, just the gap between body and gearbox is still there...

Did you try to screw them(body + undertray) together, my first testfit looked fine too :lol:
