Trying to correct yourself after the fact, yeah sure......... Scarred to a pinhole.. roto rooter and another catheter...... damn...... now BP is 115/50 and pulse is 45, who knows what the blazes is going on. May not make it out of here today. Then further behind on my builds!!!!!!!!!!

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Unlike Terry, I don't think the rest of us are trying to kill you. (Just kidding Terry) Hope all went well Bill.

Bring your modelling stuff into the hospital - they'll soon kick you out!
All the best Bill, get well soon mate!

 

[N4521U]

I'm gutted........ after all this work, and casting the Vc wing blisters, the filler is dissolving the cast material......... bl00dy h3ll....... now I guess I'll have to find some aftermarket blisters and adapt them. But first I'll have to get these off the wings....

 

[N4521U]

Bugger, it was all going so well..... the filler is dissolving the cast wing gun blisters I made. Now I have to get them off, and find some after market pieces, didn't expect this, not this late in the build.....

 

[ozhawk40]

Oh wow Bill, that's a right pain in the A.

I know you will sort it though.

Cheers

Peter

 

[Crimea_River]

Tough luck Bill. You'll prevail.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

That is cause for a new language course.

 

[Airframes]

What a blow! What filler was it - Alien Dissolving or what?!!!

 

[T Bolt]

That really stinks Bill! How about casting new blisters then using a different filler. (After testing it for compatibility with your casting material)

 

[N4521U]

T, I would try, but I have run out of patience with it and have ordered some blisters and will modify them to fit this kit. I still have to get these off as they are super glued to the wings. With all going on medically, I am just glad I have progressed to this stage. Just painting and detailing on both builds. The blisters are in the post. As a matter of fact, I think I have developed a new swearing dialect! Or the start of one. I will Overcome, Dammit!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

What rotten luck Bill, who wouldn't be spitting chips. What sort of filler were you using? Also glad you could get replacements quickly and good luck with the removal process.

 

[B-17engineer]

That stinks, you'll get it sorted! Nice so far

 

[Wayne Little]

Confident you will get it done Bill....
