Yes you will. Start with the one in the pic above. The way is you have to put your model close to you on the desk.Then use both hands to apply a drop of the glue on the needle.Then take the model with its tail and set it up-end with the nose down on the deck.Holding the model with your left hand and the needle with right one apply the drop of the glue like the red arrow points out. Pay your attention to on if the glue is going down along and inside the gap.Wait a while for the glue hardening and them take a pic to show me how the joint is looking now.OK?
 
:oops:

No, needle was too thick (in my opinion, so I gave back to my mom to continue what she was doing. :evil4:) so I used the tip of one of the blades and wiped it off quickly :D
 
The thickness of a needle is not important to a certain extend of course.But the thinner it is the better a glue can be applied.
The idea of applying a CA glue in that way is to use the nice feature of the kind of a glue. I mean that it can migrate along a gap itself.In this way we can get quite nice filled joint without the glue all around...right?
 
Take two pics od the wing that has to be set and upload them, please. I need to see the leading and trailing edges of the wing at its root.
 
No your not H, I had to look it up when I first came across the word. The dihedral is the angle of the wings to the fuselage. On your P40 the wings will rise a little from the wing stub at the fuselage to the wing tip, both wings being at the same angle. On many of the models shown in construction you may have noticed tape running from wnig tip to wing tip across the top of the fuselage. That's a way of setting the even angle (dihedral) of the wings for gluing.
:hotsun: :hotsun:
 
THX Vic for your help with the explanation.:)

So Harrison how it does look like?
 
Rather no Harrison. I thought about these wooden buckles.
