the plastic exhaust stacks are a kind of ..crap...still have to figure how to work that one out...

They do look a bit dodgy. Maybe use some solder with some aluminum foil tape on the open ends?

 

[Tony Hill]

Paper clips?

Nice work so far.

 

[aviatik]

Okay...those are some interesting ideas......!! Will give it a try...

 

[aviatik]

@ Crimea ( Andy..? ) You got me on track with the alu foil at the tips, this is a firts try with very thin lead sheet...think idd that the thinner foil will be more scale like..
@ Tony, the clips is an idea, but not as pliable as solder wire or lead wire...( however could use the rigidity of the clips..)

Looks real good. Still think it's 1:1

Aluminum foil tape is easy to use, very thin and already sticky on the back. Used for furnace duct sealing. I made my 1/48 Dora ejector chutes like this. The only problem is that it remains very flexible ad is easily crushed.

 

[waterman]

Aluminum foil is a great idea...its thickness does appear to be more in scale.

Very inspiring work aviatik! Love your superb detail!

Fellow modellers....a little delay in my build...2 factors ....lack of creativity on how to solve the exhaust stacks and a little hand surgery...not for the faint harted...

Frankenstein has been mentioned...

What happened?

Mercy me. Was that self inflicted or rehabilitative? Either way, wish you well on the recovery.
