Thats the stuff, If I remember right you have to hold it there alot longer then super glue but it does harden and can be used in layers. check out the link and double click on the picture. Shows the applicators to help with distribution of the glue. I think this simular to what you where talking about over seas Wojtek.

Of course you can use the glue for styrene but its hardening time is long and it can't be used as a putty.

Harrison could you apply some of the glue on a piece of cardboard and take a pic to show me how it looks like?
 
About that..... the package and tube it came in was squished and upon opening it all but a measly bit is left, so if you want I can, but I thought it would be okay and I could use this for the wings....
 
These white traces of the glue are very charakteristic Harrison.These are caused by wet skin (humidity).

Could you pick up some of the glue with a needle and tell me if it can run down along the needle?
 
And I did it on both with a TINY drop, cause I got little to spare.

It works 8)

Check out recent purchases and see what I just bought 8)

I'm horribly mistaken, I did it on a chisel type thing and saw it slowly go down, but it went down a quarter of a millimeter when I went to check.

Sorry Wojtek for wasting your time
 
All is fine Harrison. Simply I knew it was like that. That's way you need the very thin CA glue. Certainly the one will come in handy I'm sure.
Here you are the instruction on how to apply the thin CA glue. For applying use a quite long needle or a piece of wire without an isolation of course.

Of course you will do. I think we will do nothing more to the model tonight. Unless you haven't painted these inner surfaces of flaps yet..You can do that now.And prepare the phone card.Have you sanded the colours down ?
 
Looking good Harrison.
However I have to tell you about airctaft symmery.I'm sure you have already noticed it that a plane is usually built symmetrically taking its top view and front one into consideration. It means that that a plane shape is the same for both fuselage halves and wings halves.As a result the view of one half is a mirror of the second one right? That's way all things of these halves are of the same shape in a cross-secton.
Look at the pic below please,In the left top corner I put a pic of the correct looking shape of the air intake.I'm sure you can notice the symmetry in areas covered with the putty..The main pic is that you have now. Can you see the difference? So you have to sand the air intake in that way to get the symmetrical view of right and left side of any element.Generally , you have to get the same shape in a cross-section of both halves of the air intake for instance..
