I am assuming the 350 scale Akagi and the gantry is the curvy things under the rear flight deck overhang (no pitures) As i recall, they are three pieces and a SOB to put together. What i did is pop up all the little u pieces on the bottom piece and then glue one of the pieces on top of that. Not perfect, but unless you use a magnifying glass and really twist no one will ever know. contact dade or a couple of other fellas that have done this. I struggle with PE some of them are whizz kids with it
