The glue I'm using is a german product, but there is a number of manufacturers out there. Just search for "uv hardening glue" and you surely will find one. The starter set is not expensive at all and contents a small UV-Beamer. https://www.amazon.de/Marston-Domsel-UV-Klebeset-mit-UV-Beamer-MUV-SET-F3/dp/B00MX4C6JY A "Chris" build!

Would love to watch a new project of yours here! Aber natürlich freuts mich wenn du zuguckst Fürstenfeldbruck schaffe ich heuer leider zeitlich nicht aber ich melde mich die Tage bei dir... Looking very nice so far Guy Thank you, Guy! This is such a nice and accurate old kit that I hope to do it justice! I'm in as well if you don't mind. Thank you Allyby! Hope you're patient, no chance at all to hit the deadline. This baby needs a lot of love! cheers Chris MikeMaben and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wimmer Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Small update today: This is an early Bf109E-1 which served in the spanish civil war, currently under restoration to airworthy condition at Meier Motors company. The outer fuel filler cap is removed and I found this would be an interesting detail to show on my model: Next I searched the web for a Bf109 fuel cap and found this. Think this could be the right one: I sandwiched four pieces of 0,5mm sheet styrene and pressed them into the fuselage curve by using a clothes peg. After curing and sanding smooth it looked like this: The finished fuel cap: Forward fuel cap: Planning to join the fuselage halves tomorrow...

Shaka HI Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Nice..curious how you did that fuel cap? Chris Wimmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wimmer Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Thank you, Alain and Shaka Hi! I am using my homemade punch and die set for making small parts like this. One year ago I found it could be nice to have one, but when finished this quickly became one of the most important modelling tools I ever had. The fuel cap is made from evergreen strips and odd styrene pieces. Finally I rounded the surfcace by a drop of UV glue.
