I didn’t notice that. But you should always try it on a scrap piece. I just remove super glue overflow with it. Using a flat brush, moist with the solvent. Works very well. -
The best glue at this time is “thin” and “rubberized” super glue. You can clean it up with a brush and Cyanoacrylate remover. Also I discovered a nice putty, Vallejo Plastic Putty. The excess can be easily removed with a brush and water. Excellent for filling small gabs.

I started to do the portholes to fill with Micro Kristal Klear ( thank you Yves, I almost forgot that I have it!). You can use it also on say plexiglass / acrylic glass sheets, if you have scratches on it (I ruined it with “regular” super glue), you put it on and the scratches disappear like magic. What I noticed is, that the scuttles are not very well glued to the hull. But it is too late now to fix it. I discover too late the right glue for it (thin super glue). The “glass” from the kit is not usable, IMO.

Cool! What a beast! Well done! I like the stencils. But didn’t you forget the pilot? 😉 Hermann

I got today my flags from AMP (Accurate Model Parts). They look pretty good. However, you have to be patient to get them. I ordered them beginning of June!

Thanks Yves. One thing I don’t understand with your model is, why didn’t have the hull rivets? I would think that is an easy task when you draft the hull. And I would assume the printer doesn’t have a problem with it.

Bob, Very nice executed, well done! 👍 👍👍 I hope I will be there at one time. Hermann

Today I was working on the bandstand for the 2pdr. Gun I glued the two bottom pieces together and soldered the bandstand side wall to it. Which was easier than I thought it would be. After that, I glued the rivet strips to the side wall. The handrail was a challenge but with patient it was finally done. The crew shelter was bend and glued together. It was actually with one bottom sheet, but I blended it one time in the wrong direction and it separated. Luckily it was not a big deal. You can see the big difference between the kid bandstand (although modified already) and the GLS bandstand. The quality of the GLS parts are outstanding.

Did you use black cardboard for the caulking or something else? Looking good! Hermann

Jeff, Here are some more carving tools. I believe Fine Tools are shipping to the US, or you try to find these tools elsewhere in the US. https://www.fine-tools.com/japcarv1.html Hermann

OC, Lou and Ken, thank you for the your kind words. Yes, the kid hedgehog is a far cry from the GES kit.

So hedgehog is done, I think. Just a little bit touch up, when it is installed. Of cause I broke one hedgehog, while trying to align it. 😡

Well, I was thinking of that. But I decided to do just a little bit like she is coming just from a refit. But it would be interesting to do so. There are many photos which are showing beaten up corvettes.

At the weekend I was fuzzing around with some paint. I was trying the “salt” method, but I didn’t really like it how it came out. I also painted the hull with “Schnellboot Weiß” because I didn’t get the original white (RN10), but I hope it is still Ok, compared to the true white. For my taste it was just too white. I had also some fun with the funnel. It was too thin! But I was able to fix it with some styrene strips.
