Glen McGuire Posted May 3, 2024 #93 Posted May 3, 2024 I just went thru this build log from start to finish. What an incredible journey, Gary, with the destination being a true work of art.

gsdpic Posted May 4, 2024 Author #94 Posted May 4, 2024 Thanks to Phil and Glen for the comments, and for anyone else who has clicked the like button since I last said thank you. Much to my surprise, the replacement parts for the missing stand parts arrived on Tuesday, so it took just 8 days for the mail from Spain to Austin, Tx. I was a little unsure about what glue to use and finally got over to Home Depot today and bought some Loctite for Plastics glue. It is two parts....you spread an "activator" on both surfaces, let that dry, then apply the glue to one surface and stick them together. Seemed to work quite well and did not haze the acrylic. Anyway, here are three more shots of the Camel on the stand provided in the kit. In the bottom picture, you can see two of the three little cross pieces between the upright pieces of the stand. Those are the pieces that were missing from the kit originally. mtaylor, Ras Ambrioso, Canute and 11 others 10 4 - Gary Current Build: Revell Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Bluejacket Friendship Sloop Completed Builds: Blue Jacket America 1/48th Annapolis Wherry Artesania Latina Sopwith Camel Fujimi Dino 246GT Tamiya Lotus 49 Tamiya Lotus 72D Tamiya Lotus 78 Tamiya Porsche 917 (x2)
