Parkside PC27 Slope sided mineral wagon

Yesterday evening I spent a few moments how to construct this kit. It looked a little more complex than the previous Dia. 1/108, 1/109 wagons. The sides are in two sections and have to be put together with an angle that matches a couple of supports that will be applied to the sides later in the construction. Also the floor does not fit flush to the outside edges of the ends with the sides recessed in from the ends. I was a little confused as to how to fix the floor to the ends, keeping it all square, then fix the sides on at the correct angle all in one go. After much thought, then running out of fingers and hands in many dry runs, the entry on my blog shows my solution.....

I'd have suggested making two L shapes from the ends and vertical sections of side before gluing these together then fit the sloped sections and then the floor. The reason for this is that a lot of kits can have overlength/width floors that you really want to fix after the sides and ends are formed into a square. You are a bit scuppered if you discover the floor was too long after you stick it to the ends.

I agree with craig. That's how I built one a couple of weeks ago and it went together without any problems.
