What's on The Workbench

[Airframes]

The 1/32nd scale Shooting Star sounds interesting. Pics?

 

[Trebor]

Stuka's coming along nicely, Mag!

I just assembled the wings and the landing gear last night and attached the wings to the fuselage and the landing gear to the wings. I am gonna have a little problem with the dive brakes, though. >.>

 

[Maglar]

You should be fine treb. This seems to be a fast kit..

 

[Trebor]

yes, it seems to be. I've already got almost evetrything assembled. I've just gotta figure out what colors to use. I'm thinking Olive drab and RLM 72 grun (sg)?

 

[Maglar]

My kit suggests Dark green and black green for the two camo colors. Light blue on the bottom.

 

[Trebor]

I'm going to use light aircraft gray for the bottom.....like I always do. but the thing is, I have almost no money left (cos today I had to shop for some food and such)

 

[Wayne Little]

What! the model stops for food....? Well I guess you need to eat....we will wait!

 

[Lucky13]

How rude!

 

[Maglar]

The dry fit seems to be be good. Did some editing on the last pic to show where the work needs to be done. If you squint you might be able to see it!

 

[Wurger]

What kind of corrections do you need to make? The model is looking good.

 

[Maglar]

Maybe I did the wrong pic edit but, there is a good gap where the guns were put in because I had to drill the hole and the top didnt have it so it left a little gap from top meeting bottom. Possibly putty will do it..

 

[Wurger]

Oh...I see now. What a kind of the drill bite did you use?

 

[Maglar]

My hand and a nail filer.. I just ordered a vice with 6 tiny drill bits off my modeling store. Will be better in the future.......

 

[Wurger]

Yep it will help you I'm sure. For now I suggest to use some Superglue.Apply it with the small amout in two or three steps.The first step will let you make the joint better.The second and the third will let you fill up these gaps.Then use sandpaper to make the joint smooth.Do it gently.Ask your Mum if she has these nail filers with the sand paper.These will be nice tools for that.If not you can do it yourself.

 

[Maglar]

Will do, then I will check it with a light coat of primer. If its still there then i'll keep going at it!

 

[Wurger]

 

[Wayne Little]

...and be careful recreating the curvature of the wing, build it up a little at a time as Wojtek suggests and you will be ok.

 

[Trebor]

here's the Stuka almost completely assembled. I'm thinking I want to get the correct colors for this bird

 

[109ROAMING]

Nice work Rob!

 

[Maglar]

My stuka lightly primed..
