Am I right in thinking you just glued the ends of the stretched sprue to the flap? (appears so in the photo, to me)
I usually run the whole length through the brush of the liquid cement for a continuous bond.
Initially I did the way you said Evan .But later I applied CA glue allog the stick as well. And then I cut the flap part ouit.
The next step....drilling, cutting , filling and again drilling , cutting and filling.... for an imitation of the second flap structure.
Oh no...All is fine Evan. It was my fault I wasn't enough precise. In fact the adverb has a different meaning but also can mean great, amazing commonly. I really appreciate your help.
Photo etch? Who needs it when you've got a Wojtek?!!!
This is REAL modelling - you can teach monkeys to stick PE parts to a kit, but it takes real skill and artistry to produce small parts like this from raw materials.
Great work my friend!
