Hi Guys,
This will be the longest build thread ever - no worries. This is just a project in my spare time....

I hit my first snag very early on in the build. First step even. The kit I copied and cut from my friends vintage kit (I traced the parts from those in the kit) are not adding up to the plans I found on this forum. I put the doublers on the fuse sides first and then very quickly realized the formers do not match the fuse height. I copied the fuse sides from an original vintage kit, and cut the formers from the plans I found here. Something is not consistent - and by a lot. The fuse sides are like 1/2" too tall. Were there different versions of this kit I need to look out for? The plans say they are from ACE, as the kit was. If I lay the fuse sides over the plans I found here its clear there is a big difference. It's not scaling either I don't believe.....
Much Thanks,
Rick
