Rear Hull Images
*Port cover on Dragon hull slightly too big and out of position, correct position on
Tristar hull but should have raised attachments.
*Both have the engine deck and hatch hinges in the correct position
*Minor hatch size differences about .05mm but so probably not worth bothering with.
*Both have the engine deck and hatch hinges in the correct position
*Grab handle wrong size and profile on Dragon hatch, correct on Tristar part.
*Engine cooling filler cover slighty too big and in the wrong position on Dragon hatch, correct on Tristar part.
As the Dragon cover is separate part, just cut off one locating lug and reposition.
*Alternate tropical engine deck hatch with Dragon kit that include inside etched grill work.
*Internal fan assembly included with Dragon kit
*Air inlet/outlet louvers parts
*Louver covers provided as etched parts in both kits
*Assembled air inlet/outlet louvers parts, note the four louver clips on upper hull side
are provided in small etched parts with Dragon kit.
