And another kits nightmare ... haha ... PE Part is not matching. Wohhooo ... So WHAT is wrong? PE or Part?

B6 defines the wide of the front gunport. At least it should as there are no drawings of such a complex part.
And it seems the gunport part is too wide now
Otherwise when comparing the instructions drawing and what I built it looks quite similar in size.

Gunport has the exact same size as the stern ones. Coincidence?

I checked everything again, and the way I did it, it "must" be correct. You can see in the picture the angle I had to saw for the part; I didn't saw away too much, just what the angle required.

If I had done it so that the etched part would fit, there would be a huge gap because the 3D-printed hull would be "wrong". Basically, however, according to the original plans, it seems that the gunport is a little too wide even it is now the exact shape as the gunport at the stern. F*** it, nothing I am willing to chance, it tells the story. I will split the PE part ;-)
Anyway another example for not testing kit designs. It's frustrating ... I feel like an alpha tester though ... haha
cheers
