Well, that almost worked!
I managed to jig the model in the vice and, after much farting about, got the starboard wing attached to the upper section of the wing fold. The big problem here is that the PE wing fold is very flexible, and there is very little area where glue can be applied, and even less area where the upper section meets the hinges. It would help enormously if the metal etched parts were of a heavier gauge, to prevent, or at least reduce the flexing.
Next step was to try to glue the upper section to the hinges.
PIC 1. Shows the model set up in the vice, held loosely but securely in the rubber jaws, and with tape securing the tail, to prevent it tipping nose down. Here, the wing has been attached to the PE wing fold 'plate', using CA adhesive.
PIC 2. This is the gap which has to be closed, by bending the wing down, and gluing the upper section to the hinges. As can be seen, the mating surfaces, left bare of paint, are very minimal. Every time I tried to glue the joints, the tension of the upper wing 'plate' pulled the joint apart.
PIC 3. The final attempt, using tape to hold the upper section taut against the hinges whilst the CA set.
It didn't work!
This is a relatively simple joint, so it's anyone's guess what sort of fun Vic is going to have with the weight of those resin wings on the multiple folds on the Gannet!
So, after almost two hours messing about with just one wing, it's only half done.
But, to quote Michael Caine, in the closing line of 'The Italian Job' - "Hang on lads, I've got a great idea ......"
