Once in a while trouble hits a project, and sadly this is the case on this model.
While working on the Enfield, I did dry runs regularly to make sure the fit was ok, unfortunately when the time came
to cement it in place, it just wouldn't fit.
In the end I had to drill and peg it to stay in position, and re paint the odd section.
Thankfully the hands went on ok, just hope they don't fall off.
Just got a few bits to finish off and tidy up then he'll be finished.

[QUOTE="MalcC, post: 1415714, member: 8978"] Once in a while trouble hits a project, and sadly this is the case on this model. While working on the Enfield, I did dry runs regularly to make sure the fit was ok, unfortunately when the time came to cement it in place, it just wouldn't fit. :mad: In the end I had to drill and peg it to stay in position, and re paint the odd section.
