Same here though! But I'm very lucky because I have the help of modeling Jedi
Pic in a sec!

[B-17engineer]

Bad pic but it works!

 

[Wurger]

OK Harry. Good work.

Now a short briefing before we can go farther.

The first thing is how you have to keep the model ( wing) when the disk will be mounting. There are two pics. Unfortunately I don't have the 1/48 scale wing but the 1/72 scale one should be enough to explain the way.
look at them. As you can see the wing is grounded by most of my fingers ( you can say whole left hand) right? The thumb is squeezing the wing from the top.It is importan your fingers can underpin a bay area.

In the third pic you can notice that these strips into these bays aren't going horizontally but are a little bit down from one side.Can you see that?

Yes I understand!

For the bolded, a person who is not intelligent that could be confusing

Most EXCELLENT work Harrison!!!!!!

 

[B-17engineer]

Most EXCELLENT work Harrison!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wurger]

OK. Now get some training. Here you are the next two pics.Set the pencil with a disk over the bay hole and go trough it down and up.Notice you can operate the disk inside the bay by pencil rotating. It is for the strips setting at a correct position. Try to do it a few times to be sure you can do that and operate without any problems. Because of lack of the wing I have had to use the cardboard template.But I think you catch the idea.

 

[B-17engineer]

I see!

 

[Wurger]

Ready?

 

[B-17engineer]

Bit o practice first.

 

[Wurger]

Excellent Harry.

Ok remind me the CA gel is a gel or the very thick one? Because I don't remember which one you have.

 

[B-17engineer]

A gel

I have about a half hour left before I must head to bed. I don't even want to imagine how late it is there!

 

[Wurger]

OK. Now apply some of the CA gel into the middle of the disk. And put it into the bay.Rmember of holding the wing with your hand, setting the disk at a correct position ( stripes have to go like in the P-40 model wing). Then tighten the disk with the pencil and keep at the position for a while to let the glue get hardened.Then slightly unstick the pencil. The disk should be glued middle to the bay center.

 

[B-17engineer]

And it'll be on a tiny angle? Like the strips ?

 

[Wurger]

Explain please?

 

[B-17engineer]

OK Harry. Good work.

.

 

[Wurger]

Oh yes the disk setting into the bay determinates the stripe direction right? So these strips shoiuld go in that way.

 

[B-17engineer]

I must go now, I have a great handle on this, I will do this and then go to bed. Have a goodnights rest and talk to you tomorrow?

 

[Wurger]

OK I'll be on for a half of an hour yet.So if you can be on for the time we can work a little bi. If not

Pleasant dreams. See you tomorrow.
