Those may be a bit too heavy but I have thought about using some plastic card as tabs. I read in the links that FUBAR sent me that there may be more to it than just glue here and there. I am at the stage in my model building where I really have to get my head around a build before I jump into it otherwise it will wind up on the shelf of doom.Some wood perhaps? Maybe use some tongue depressors.
A question that should have been asked firstly . How the two surfaces ( edges between the two wing parts ) look like? Any pic would be helpful.
I have thought of that and it sounds like a good idea and I may give that a tryI think he wants the wings in flying position. The wood I suggested would be stronger than a plastic spar, could easily be shaped to fit the inside of the wing halves, and can be secured with 2 part epoxy.
Ok.... I've built this and had no problems building OOB with deployed wings.
section 9
build as shown. Do not cut off anything (and do put K4 on). Do not fit G1 & G6
Build section 10 AS SHOWN
Miss section 11.. that's for folded wings.
Continue with section 12 - 17. Miss section 18!
Do not use B6 (section 13)
Do not use B8 (section 16)
Take your time and do plenty of dry fits with the etched wing braces.
I painted the lower surface of the upper wing and the upper surface of the lower wing before assembly using the shadow shading paint on the lower wing upper surface and he standard FAA colours on the top wing upper surface.
It does build up into a very nice representation of the stringbag.
If you want photos you'll have to wait while it is daylight! LOL
