Klingon Warp Nacelle alignment

minus_273c

Mongoose
Could anyone point me at a definitive alignment diagram for the Klingon ships produced by Mongoose please (front or rear view obviously) please. The reason is that I don't know which are vertical and which slope.

My problem is that I have limited use of one arm only, so holding the nacelles to the body while assembling is impossible, so I jury rig stands on my modelling table and slide the nacelles into position while drying. Unfortunately it's difficult to get a feel for the correct alignment like this.

Grateful for any advice.
 
Here's a front view pic:

As far as which ones slope, I think the only ones that are straight up and down are the D5 hulls. That's why they have FH disruptors instead of FA.
 
Check out this PAGE on the ADB site.
Its an archive of the 3D renders of all Klignon ships currently in porduction and most (if not all) ships include a nose-on view showing the angle of the nacelles.
 
C8, view 1, warp nacelles angled inwards:

C8, view 2, angled shot, warp nacelles appear to be pointing straight down:

C8, view 3, warp nacelles angled outwards:

And this instruction sheet for the old Starline 2200 version shows the warp nacelles pointing straight down as in view 2.

Conclusion: you can mount the warp nacelles on the C8 any way you like. :)
 
That front view of the C8 is an early render. It was later changed to angle the engines inward (as seen in the other shots). No other front-view render was ever made available.
