Re: Corgi and defects

Yours of course! You started the thread!

I've decided to let it be. It doesn't seem to bother me that much. Plus I'm afraid to bend it.

Re: Corgi and defects

Good choice.

I don't imagine that it would be devalued

To tell you the truth, it's really not that bad. It's bent just a bit. You wouldn't even notice if you didn't know to look for it.

Also, just got a B-24 "Michigan". This is my first 4 engine plane. It's quite hefty. Once thing though is that I can't figure out how to make the ball turret to come down. I'm able to turn it and make the guns point downward but can't seem to make it descend from it's resting position. Any advice?

I had the same issue with the RAF Support Squadron B24 until I was advised by forum members to gently tug the turret until it descended - be patient and don't force it and it should drop (note to Skunky - no smartass comments please ).

I bow to the Master Skunkmeister who has the uncanny ability to be 'smart-ass' without being 'smart-ass' ...

Re: Corgi and defects

Haha! Almost had to quit the forum amongst all this talk of tugging and dropping of things

Thanks for your advice guys!

You should really try it! Look away from the little guys for, say, two days...

I have the same problem with my SB Liberator, I tugged but to no avail, I dare not tug any more in case I break it.
