Missed the last couple of days.....

been chipping away though.... as I said flaps closed, so I added some support strips for the flaps and after getting the correct level for the flaps to sit right they were glued in place on both sides.

yesterday I had a slight accident knocked the Ta off my desk....bang! and the tail pane separated from the fuselage...jesus did i go off at myself!!!

Well it wasn't all that bad, the break was at the original glue joint and went back together clean as a whistle...still p*ssed at myself for letting it happen...

 

[A4K]

Great stuff Wayne, and I would react exactly the same way!!!

What sort of glue do you use btw? Had similar trouble at times of supposedly fixed surfaces nicely seperating in areas afterwards...

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Evan, Tamiya Extra thin cement, clearly i didn't apply enough all the way around the joint...

 

[A4K]

Used to use that myself till I moved here and couldn't get it. Been using Revell Liquid cement since then.

looks good Wayne and glad no real damage was done

 

[Crimea_River]

Glad you were able to save it Wayne. I know how you feel about dropping things like that - got the T-shirt.

 

[Airframes]

Good to know it's fixed Wayne. It's a horrible feeling when that happens - last time I did it, was with a 1/48th scale RAF Phantom, fitting the final part. Dropped the bl**dy thing onto a very hard floor, and amazed that only one tailplane broke off. Bl**dy annoyed at myself for doing it though!

 

[Gnomey]

Coming along nicely Wayne!

Good to hear the accident didn't do to much damage.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Looking above par Wayne! I haven't dropped one yet, but it will happen, I'm sure. I've lost a couple of pieces though.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

The moment we all dread and those naughty words we all explode and suddenly the whole street knows something is up. Glad you recovered though Wayne.

I loved Wojtek's comment from his Bf 109E thread -' 'KM' I said, and went for a can of T-stoff..' (I also know what KM means! )

Nice Wayne. I hate breaking something loose but I hate worse when the wife does it.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks fellas.....yeah, went off like the Space Shuttle for a few moments until I saw what little damage had actually occurred....

 

[ccheese]

Reminds me of what happened to the starboard wing float on the Rufe. Broke the dad-burned thing off three times. Like you told me, fix it and keep going.

It's looking good, Mate....
