MK elevator misalignment (part 2)

[Tony Stillman]

Click on "English".  Then, a group of buttons will appear on the left.
click on Kits, then Smaragd.

Now, the main screen will have "Our Technical Instructions" at the top.
Click on that.

What happens now is a set of pictures of the building of the kit are
available by clicking on the different sections.  The thumbnail pics will
appear on the left, and you can stop them and click for a full-size view.

Hope this was clear enough.........
