Is this the guy that goes on the end of the orange piece? I can’t seem to find a clear shot.
Well what do ya think?
This was my Facebook memory this morning. Apparently I’m averaging one pit per year. Lol
So before I start gluing this pit today, I want to double check two things.
1. The giant Mustang part is straight right? It doesn't get bent to the curve of the pit?
2. The little pieces inside the circuit get removed right?
Thanks.

I’ve just secured one of these exact kits myself.
This won’t take forever at all. lol. At least they’re clean casts.
Yep, that's how I did mine and it turned out okay. It's a bit off, and I'm not sure why, the same parts should line up the same as the original. But I think it's pretty close, and when painted few will notice the slight errors.
I had a bit of luck with the UBoat. I purchased one kit, used and open, and discovered that, while some of it had been started, it actually had 3 sprue B's in the box, along with other duplicate parts. So one purchase got me all the railings I needed.
Be aware that not all the uboat railings are the same length.

I'm mad at myself because I meant to include the rails in the mold but forgot to add them.
There's actually two types of railing in the U-boat kit!. Not all railings are alike & both types were utilized in a certain pattern. It's easy to miss these with a few glances, but once you know & see it, you can't unsee it!. The dish is a tricky assembly to get right, orientation wise with the kit parts & how they sit to the sidewall cut-outs.
It's this little guy that'll get ya.
I used both types of railings, and did notice the differences between the stanchions for both types. I tried to match them to the images I have, but I'm not sure I have it quite right.
I don't understand what that is.
Based on the photo's I have, all the inner ones bend outwards (or they're rather straight across). All the outer ones bend inwards.
