Another fine looking build in the works Roman,the office looks great!

[Guest]

I have manage to do joint of lower wing and fuselage. I see same thing is waiting for me for upper wing and canopy.

All panels on lower wing and fuselage are rescribed.

Must have also putty time on engines cowel.

Here are some pics from my work... upper wing, canopy and engine are still on dry fit.





Cheers,

[Guest]

Looking good. That canopy looked a pain to mask! Those joins look like they will give you and the putty a good work out!

[Guest]

Here I have one tip... I dont know if any of you work like this... Tip is for filling gaps between canopy and fuselage.

I use WATER BASED glue for wood, who is dryed became transparent.

With toothpick put drops into the gap untill is filled up and little overedge and when I finish with filling gap right away moisture with mouth cotton swab (for cleaning ears - dont know on english... i think is cotton swab) and wipe away excess untill stay only ammount in the gap. After drying you will se clear transparent fiulling.

If neccesery replay all... because somethimes with cotton swab you clear little more from the gap.

Next time when I will do this I will make video tutorial

hope you will see different on pics and model of glue.



BEFORE:





AFTER WATER BASED WOOD GLUE:

and must say gap was not like before on my post, upper wing have little too mutch bended canopy, after I was glu it I see gap was not too big, but was present... arround 1/2 - 1 mmm





Hope I help with this tip



Cheers
