I'm trying to put mine together, NONE of the arms line up for me, I'm ready to start throwing them at the wall, does anyone have a chart or a picture of how they are meant to go together?

When I put mine together, I noticed they don't like holding their guns. I hold their arms in place with one hand, then squeeze the hand and gun hard with my other hand so the metal will bend. then when I go to glue, they fit. Sometimes squeezing didn't help, so I either 1)held it then bit down to force them together or 2) Bent open the hand to better hold the gun or 3) bent the arm to better position the hand.

I used putty to model more fur on the un-armoured shoulder ... that allows for a little more leeway to have the hand actually grip the gun and not float around. Also notice that there are two "sets" of arms, and that if you get a gun arm from one set and a "free hand" arm from the other set, they will not fit together very well. Do some dry-fitting before committing to glueing the arms in order to find the right pairings.

Internet win.

I also had one hell of a time putting my bacon bits together. The arms never lined up. Needless to say, after much frustration and poked fingers, i eventually managed to jam everything together and they look pretty decent. some spots probably need to be filled, but eh, I'm not trying to win modeling competitions so it is what it is.

Yeah I did the same thing as Hjelmen0, used some putty to make the shoulder a little bigger so the arm can reach around to the gun...they look OK, not super awesome, but it got the job done.

As others said, dry fit, maybe a little bending, green stuff to suit.

No one ever said it was easy to put together a ham dinner unless someone else makes the ham.
