These were in the GW Wave Serpent kit but according to the instructions they dont seem to fit in anywhere and I couldnt see where to put them.
Anyone got any ideas?
The kit fits perfectly together without them.

IIRC, one is from the base kit (Falcon). The other is longer to make the extended transport bay. You only need the latter.

Cheers Grim, had me puzzled.
So its basically a spare part as part of the main falcon kit?
Just kept on the sprue due to dual kit moulds?

**Grimtuff**

At a guess. I've never bought a WS and it has been years since I've seen someone make one, so I'm not 100% sure if they updated the kit or not. Hopefully someone will come along and confirm for me.

What Grim said. Those are for the rear hatch on the Falcon and fit against the rear, between the engine exhausts. The Wave Serpent kit uses the same hull sprues as the Falcon kit, but the Wave Serpents have an extended Hull, and don't use those bits.

Thanks peeps, conundrum solved!

**SilverMK2**

Oh my god! You didnt put those on before you stuck it all together? Those bits stop the model from exploding when it is exposed to paint!
