Thanks Darkview, yeah I have looked at all the mag backs up to the final issue 100 and they don't appear anywhere so looks like they aren't happening.
So, I got the kit parts, and they don't really line up to the Entex part. Here is what I found.
First issue is pretty easy this part in green just needs to slide back some, and actually ends up where its supposed to be based on all the ref images, not sure why DeAgo has it slide forwards but there ya go. You can see the final position here. Easy enough fix and requires no modifications other than cutting the peg off the bottom of the plant on part that fits into the cast hole where it originally was meant to be glued in.
I test fit the pipe and it doesn't line up right with the Entex rib/fin thingy. I noticed a couple issues that contribute to this, I'll outline them below and see what you guys think..
The first issue is that the Entex part isn't the same and acutally sits lower on the sidewall than the original, so this makes it too low and therefore the pipe doesn't have anything to glue onto.. you can see the differences here, the original Entex part tapers up towards the body and almost gest flush with the top whereas the DeAgo part is flat as is about 1/8 of an inch lower where the pipe is intended to connect.
The final thing I noticed is that it appears the Entex part actually has some thing that the pipes are connecting into, or there has been an additional kit part planted on to receive the pipes. I tried to verify the Entex part on the StudioScaleModeler kit scan page but that image was too low rez to make the part out well enough to tell, so wanted to see if any of you knew the story about that. the part I'm talking about is in green below.
Seems like it can be fixed but I wanted to be sure the above part circled in green wasn't another kit part I needed first.
