One knife per three kids sounds about right and a BIG bottle of superglue!

San Marcos wing CAF have a P-39. You might get them to want to build them.

Adult per two kids sounds right

One who will CONTROL THE TUBE OF GLUE!

Happy Birthday Don!

Nice stuff guys, and happy Birthday Don.

 

[Donivanp]

Thanks guys. I find it interesting is we're getting to the age where he gave me the same kit that he did last year. It's not until the 19th, bought a new used car for the wife and I don't think this will fit in the trunk.

You know, I hope that Superglue will not be required, but instead regular model airplane glue will do the job.

Now at least some of the kits made in China use plastics where model airplane glue does not work well. You have to use Superglue or something. An example is Squadron's Hanebu II flying saucer. Admittedly, I did something with my kit which its makers never intended, but the good old Testors stuff did not do the job.

Interesting Don. I can test the theory soon. I have two Airfix 1:72 Vampire T.11s, one made in China, the newer since they moved production back to the UK and India. Be interesting to see if there is much of a difference in the gluing.

Well, the Hanebau is constructed of alien technology-even the kit. It's not logical to assume that earthly glue would work on otherworldly devices.
