I didn't realize until you mentioned it The phrase would be "took the plunge", right? At least we (the non native English speakers) bring out some laughs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 That gave me a good chuckle at work today, thank you. Got my Miria 22 from AmiAmi yesterday, and checked it over... nothing missing, only slight problem is a slightly weak wing hinge, but I can tighten that up easily. What amazes me though... This one fits together MUCH better than my YF-21. I broke off one of the rear belly plate tabs trying to get mine to fit together, and they've always looked slightly curved from the stress of hooking them under the engine boxes. This one though.. the plates are perfect. Flush, smooth, no gap, and they're actually slightly sloppy in that position, meaning there's no stress on them at all. I did notice one difference... my YF-21 has engines that seem canted upwards, as if the tops of the nacelles are leaning toward the center of the plane. This seems like it puts stress on the belly plates, since it raises the outer edge of the nozzle blocks. Miria's nacelles are much more level, and I think it helped the belly plates fit MUCH better.

The weak hinge problem is very easily remedied. Be sure to use the appropriate sized screwdriver. Also the screws are very small and can be easily stipped if your not careful. Follow these simple steps: - First, remove the two screws at the root of the weak wing. Be careful as the lense cover on the aft wing lights is removable and easily lost. - Second, pry open the lower and top half of the wing root. No tools are necessary as your fingernail will suffice, and will not scratch or damage the surface. - Third, unscrew the only screw located inside. - Fourth, remove the part from the wing root as this is the part that is not weak, but loose. - Fifth, add gerth to the inner part of the small valley that connects the wing to the wing root. A small styrene strip will work perfectly. No glue is needed. - Sixth, place and screw everything back together. - Seventh, , you're done!! Thanks, goes out to JasonC and his VF-22S Milia. He allowrd me to survey the problem and solve it with his affected model. NB4M Edited March 8, 2010 by nightmareB4macross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
