Hi. I am working on this kit and I am a bit confused on where to glue the PE part MA5 & MA6 onto the kit. They are located in the front hull, should be attached to the left and right fenders. I bent the MA5 & MA6 parts but they don't seem to fit at the location where they suppose to go to. Anyone has a picture of the real thing in life ? Thank you in advance.

I think we need a bit more information to help you out .. Which kit and maybe a picture of the PE so if we don't have the exact kit we might be able to help anyways...

Hi Richard. Sorry for not being clear at first. It's Dragon DML 6642 PzIII Ausf H that i am working on. They look like brackets, one on each side and suppose to go right under the light mounting on the front hull and the fender. Part number MA5 & MA6 in picture below. Thanks.

if you look at stage 21 in the instructions you can see how the piece fits under the front fender ...

I built the same H variant a while back and I found that particular PE part to be a bit fiddly. Ultimately, it fits in very well. As you probably already know at this stage, there are some errors in Dragon's instructions. Just triple check and be patient; it's an awesome kit.

Don't forget to post some pics!
