    Drilling out the pieces with a drill bit that's smaller than the pins will keep them straight and not split the MDF. A good wood glue and the pins should hold them together. I did this with all my hanging HZ wall racks, and they are still in one piece...

    It does also say in the EMBA instructions that the back plate is not for unsupported wall mounting.......

          What size paint bottles (I assume they’re paint racks, anyway ) are they for?

                Thats because you're mixing all these float thingy colors with it 'Admiral'......................

                Anyway, I haven't been a good boy either and evilbay has struck twice again. First,

                I bought this kit cheap because I can't find the AFV kit of their roadwheels/track set AF35043 and I needed the 2 A sprues,

                These went into my AFV 251/21 'Drilling' kit which was missing them. If one day I do find the set AF35043, they'll go into this kit. The next one is interesting as it's sold as a bulge pack and comes without destructions and the regular carton,

                It's a re-make of the 2005 ICM kit by Revell. Revell re-made this in 2013, and again in 2021 (with paints & glue). The decals are dated 2021 and I have already gotten the destructions downloaded. Best thing was the price.......€16 delivered...An offer I couldn't refuse!!!...

                Prost

                  Hi Allen,
                  I built that Zug a few years back, it's a shame you're cannibalising it because it's a great little kit and makes for an interesting vehicle

                    I remember you did Andy and it is a nice kit too. I want to build it one day, but I need to find the wheel set from AFV to make complete again. It's a vicious circle when one AFV 1/2 track kit is missing the parts. The A sprues are all the same for their 251 and 3 ton series of kits...This is the set I'm after,

                          Thanks for offer Andy, but then you will be cannibalizing your kit's Buddy. I'm sure you'll get to build them both, in time.......

                          I have thought about that Pete. The prob is the kits were evilbay buys, with no guarantee. If I just tried to order the set from Taiwan, it would end up costing more than it's worth or finding something cheaper on evilbay......

                            Maybe they were embarrassed by the misspelling of wheels (Whells) & discontinued it, or you're searching for Wheels instead of Whells?:smiling3:
