    I thought the T was to go around the whole of the wings? There is some damaged T on the inside of the wings but this would eat up 2 strips, on the Out of time build up it shows the T being applied around the wing circumference?
    Ok looking at the oringinal model..It looks like the T track goes on the inside of the wing and the outside....I am glad you caught this. I did not really look that close

    Ok looking at the kit I can see that there is enough T track to do the wings and all the other parts...6 pieces will work....they are 15" each, and 6 at 15" is = to 90"
    I just checked & the wings are approx 60 inches in circumference + the internal sections of around 15, The original prop has the T all round the wings so I guess that as I said it would need around 4 or more per wing without damaged parts already & without joining small sections along one edge. Does anyone know where to get this stuff as I cant track it down in the UK?


    I will try the hot water method Cheers

    I'm going to near a hobby store that usually has good stock of plastruct items. I hope they will have the right T track.

    if anyone wants to place an order with Plastruct they require a minimum $20 dollar purchase.

    I just put the T strip around 1 wing & some detail on the main body & am left with under 1 strip, this such a great cast & model its a shame that It cant be completed from the box. I would recommend at least 9 strips of the T rack to complete with out worry. I really cant wait to get this thing painted

    I needed more T- track as well. I ordered some from Plastruct. I ordered product T-4. I got them today and they are not quite the same T-track that came with the kit. The one I bought is on the left, and you can see it tapers in a little. it is not square like the one Steve provided.

    I did order t-4, I said that in my post. the package is labled as T-4. So either Plastruct pacaged a bunch of TFS-4 in T-4 packages or T-4 is no longer available.
