It could have been a mould issue Ralph.Ok!, I have to wonder on the sanity of this design! (Thanks for the heads up Andy) Done to increase the parts count? Done to challenge and or eliminate those that are not adapt at handling rice sized pieces? It sure appears, at this scale anyway, that these details for the exhaust could have been molded as one piece? The attempt at the 'open' areas was dismal at best anyway. I'll have to go back, after the glue has hardened, and carve out a few slivers to achieve this.

Were all slowing down Bill. I thank mt stars that I even get to sticking a bit of plastic together these days, such is the pace of of my day.A shame when I try and print to pdf, no color patches!
I gotta get off my arse and start this GB,
annnnd........... finish my others. I seem to be slowing down.
Phew!! Thanks for the verify. Removing the small stubs is easy-peasy. The pads not so much.Looking at my instructions for the same kit Ralph I would say you remove those four little stubs that look to me like locator pins which checking through the instructions, seem to serve no purpose. As you have said, they are viable in the instructions further into the build but if you look closely, these tiny stubs have a back plate and what they are saying, is remove the stub not the back plate.

First, have a drink.Yikes, too many thingies! Not sure jut What I would do for This one!
Why not just get drunk? Modeling is more fun drunk, when you get up with a hangover and see what you've done the night before.First, have a drink.

I'll drink to zhatssssThe longest journey begins with a single step.
Many thanks, loads of great info and detail. Will curl up with this and an adult beverage.
That sounds feasible.I believe the little stubs are connection points for armour plates that appeared on later models.
