I find it helps to secure the top section first - make sure it propper secure then push the belt down with a bit of super glue under the belt say applied by a fine tooth pick or similar - then pushed in place with another pick, then same with the lap belts - secure the sides first.

Canute Posted June 11, 2020 Share #153 Posted June 11, 2020 Maybe a tiny dot of Tacky Glue first to get it in place. Then flow your CA/superglue into the joint. Have some little squares of paper towels to blot up any excess CA. I've tacked styrene bracing into a resin car with that, then flowed the CA into the joint. Really need it with the older "flat" kits. Need square corners if you want the roof and floor to fit in. Trapezoids don't work too well. 😉 mtaylor, Egilman, Edwardkenway and 3 others 6 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've had my taste of super detailing, and gotten my fill.... And as far as this kit, it needed the cockpit work, no doubt about that, but the seat was quite presentable as it was. I really didn't need to swap seats. So I have a magazine cover shot sitting right here on my desktop and I did it..... The true feeling is relief that it is done...

OC. Thank you my friend, yeah it was a challenge. I also think that most are done just to prove to oneself that you can do it. The usual budget conscious modeler puts his money in what shows off the skill and artistry. And the guys that do it again and again for the magazines get paid to do it... PE or Resin on a ship or aircraft exterior improves the look especially in the larger scales so there is a viable reason to add those skills to the tool box, but on interiors or areas that will never see the light of day again?

Thanks Jack, I thought about that when I couldn't find my stash of modeling clay, so i went to HL and bought a new pack... (Hobby Lobby is now open here) Don't need much just enough to balance out the engine weight in the tail.... there is plenty of room behind the cockpit bulkhead and I'll keep the gun compartment open and radome off until after the landing gear are installed just in case I need to add a bit more....

Canute Posted June 13, 2020 Share #177 Posted June 13, 2020 Got some spring clamps to hold that together? Keeps the bands off the seams. It's a big model.

Not my type of plane, but you seem to be moving along very nicely EG Well, I'll have to wait till the guys putting it on display are finished polishing it up before sending it over, as long as the pilot is happy with his wicker seat.... Thanks Carl, yeah it's a big'un, but it's actually a fairly simple build, I just complicated the heck out of it with my conversion.... it will move a bit faster now that I'm past the cockpit....

I've got clamps big enough to do the job, it's just that in my experience with a fuselage this large they tend to spread it at the seam lines. The bands provide equal pressure all around and hold it in proper shape while the glue dries. the issue is like you point out, the glue will wick along with the bands marking the surface..... There is a solution which keeps the even pressure of the bands and get them off the joint....... Those are 1/4" polyurethane tubes slipped under the bands on each side of the joints. it keeps the pressure pulling into the center while lifting the bands off the surface of the joint...the rear band is resting on the upper and lower stabilizer fillets which were molded into one side so there is no joint along the edge... Bottom side... Now the girder for the main landing gear will probably have to be clamped after the fuselage is joined, but this affords even tight pressure all around without distorting the shape.... Should be minimal filling needed, the two sides fit very well together... (but there is a slight ridge that will need to be dealt with) Ready for glue...
