 Subject:  Other issues - fan housings shown incorrectlyList thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 8, 2008
 From:  David Nickels 
The kit instructions botch the part numbers for the circular engine deck fan housings. They are parts 28 and 29. They are not identical. One has "straight" arms radiating out, and the other is skewed. The skewed cover goes on the tank's right side and the straight one on the left. Dragon gets this wrong, although later on it is shown correct in the overhead photo of the engine deck. The Jentz Panther book clearly shows the correct placememnt. Unfortunately too the kit is designed so either part will fit either side, making a mistake easy to make.
