As you see on the following reference photo of the studio model, the orientation of the frame of the upper turret cannon window is wrong on the DeAgostini part.
To correct the orientation, the window frame has to be removed and re-glued into the correct position.
 |
| As shown in the photo, there is a part where you can slide though a tiny whole with a sharp knife in order to remove the window frame. Before that you have to cut on the under side and carefully examine the areas, where glue has been applied by the factory. |
|
 |
| The window frame can be completely removed, as it is simply glued onto the hull part. |
|
 |
| This part has to be chipped away in order to be able to re-attach the frame part to hull part. |
 |
| There is a small recess, where the frame was originally fitted in. |
 |
| After dettaching the frame, I scratched away all remaining glue and sanded down all remaining glue, so that it can be re-glued. |
