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!!!!!!!!!!
 
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....
 
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.....

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!
 
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.
