Hi guys.
First off, let me say the MR Falcon is superb and I love it - and in no way should this thread be considered a bash thread.
I just need to clarify something as I think my MR Falcon may have a problem.
Below is a pic of the two front forks. It seems to me they are
Misaligned, the fork on the right (as you look down on the model) being closer to the centre nose section.

The gaps either side of the forks are different where the forks meet the hull, at either side of the centre nose.
Can anyone confirm their models are the same as this – or do I have a duff one?
I’ve illustrated below where the right fork meets the hull. There’s a cut out in the panel. Does your right fork meet at the same place?

Also the side wall for the right fork.
You can see the pipe on the right ends near the box below it, but there's a gap where the box would fit against the hull plate if the side wall was slid to the right a little.
Is yours the same as this?

Perhaps this is where the problem occurred in assembly?
The problem is, I’ve see the pics posted here of the skeleton and it looks as though the whole of the bottom section was one piece, with the top added later in assembly – much in the same was as the kit versions. So, I don’t know how this problem (if it is a problem) has occurred.
Any help and pics would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Howard.
