I have exactly the same issue! I thought maybe the pins on the metal wing didn’t line up with the wings frame, so I reamed out the plastic a little but it didn’t help. If I squeeze really hard, the gap disappears but opens up when I let go. John

Mystery solved! I built a jig with three dress pins to correspond to the pins from the limit switches. By connecting my multimeter to the pin heads on the other side of the jig, I could check the limit switches manually by depressing the tab. I could also connect the the motor wire to the battery pack and watch that the limit switches were activated by the cam. Two of the lifting devices performed perfectly. The third had no signal from the bottom limit switch, even when activated manually. So I need a new limit switch circuit board. Sigh, a 3 week wait.

I’ve completed the A6M Zero but am having a lot of trouble with the display base which won’t initialize. Each of the 3 lifters work fine when I individually hook them directly to the battery pack. I’ve adjusted the limit switches and put in a new circuit board. If I turn on power with all lifting towers at the bottom of their cycles, they all come up and stop except for the right forward device which just keeps cycling. Any clues? thanks, John

I had the same problem. I could get the turbine room to fit but it then forced the superstructure and bow section too far forward. About 1 to 2 mm. I cut a small section out of the upper left corner of the turbine room. You can’t see it when you open the removable hull section.
