Jupiter 2 Fix

Oops! We goofed! The hatch, part #24, is upside down! sorry! Here's how to correct it:

This shows the the hatch as it comes in the J2 kit. To separate: Using a sharp exacto knife or razor saw, cut the door at the left edge where it joins the tapered wall. Refer to black cutting line shown in the photo. Hint!! For best results, cut from the back side of the piece.

    Here we show the hatch properly separated.

The hatch is now reversed and reattached to the tapered wall using a standard modeling adhesive. Hint!! Test fit hatch to floor before the glue sets hard.

Here is a finished comparison. Hatch on the left is incorrect. Hatch on right is in the correct position.
