Is any one working on this kit?
I ran into a problem with the turret and wanted to see if any one else has the problem.

On step 34, the hatch, parts F6 and F24 do not seem to fit in part XJ1. In the same step, it looks like a back stopper and crank handle is missing from the kit. Then when you go to step 35, it looks like a whole different hatch!

Kinetic, if you read these, am I seeing some thing that I am just not catching or what?

Welcome to the world of Kinetic instructions, the drawings on these often bear little resemblance to the parts, with vague placement and some missing altogether!. The turret is a carry-over from the Maxx Pro kit and not as good as the rest of the kit contents. Make sure you are actually using JX1 and not the earlier turret base. Unfortunately I sold my RG-31 so cant check what the exact problem is. Not sure if this pic would help? : http://res.luckymodel.com/img/PI000000234585.jpg
