Mal_Belford Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Wow....uve been looking at thos kit for a while. I do got few questions...as i got no experiance of whole model in resin. What glue to use when body halfes/wings.. Epoxi? Rapid....does resin hold clamps as it could be gragile and crack (seen it)...or is it thick so no risk.... Many questions and i will follow this build. As i would love to try other type of material.... LSP_Paul and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotMagnet Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I like to use a sharpened sewing pin in a pin vice and scribe back and forth on the material at the joint of the pour stub. Could you use a panel-line scriber? Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotMagnet Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Reminds me of this most epic of build threads over on, um, another forum. http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=109919&ord=&page=1 Well worth a perusal. I became an instant fan of the man's work, because of that build. The bit with 'bionic' Lincoln is comedic gold. Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal, I remember you mentioning in your Corsair build thread that you found working with resin gives you health issue's so maybe a full resin kit would not be the way to go for you. Regards.

Hi Mal, I will be using 15 minute two part epoxy when I close things up, rubber bands and some clamps will hold things in place until they can be removed. Ask away if you have any further questions.

LSP_Paul Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Could you use a panel-line scriber? Shot You could use a panel line scriber, a needle in a pin vice or a micro saw blade as well, whatever you feel comfortable with. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) How on earth have I not seen this thread until today? I just took the time to go through the 12 pages and WOW, Paul! Great start on a massive and seemingly complex kit. You are certainly doing it justice, though. I'll certainly be tagging along for this one. By the way, there is a -5 undergoing restoration, just 40 or so miles up the road from me. Not a lot of info available from what I've seen, but just knowing it's there and in the works is cool. (one source suggests it's for display, but I'm not so sure). Keep up the great work!

LSP_Paul Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks John, I know of the -5 you're talking about, last I heard they were going to try and make it airworthy and fly it, but you never know with these things i guess until you start peeling all the layers back and figuring out how much money its going to take. Thanks for the kind words about my build, we'll see if I can get this thing back in progress soon. I just started a new job 3 weeks ago and it's pretty much taking over my ability to do much modeling.

LSP_Paul Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Definitely get the G factor Gear and get ready ( if it matters to you) to add and re arrange some detail in the cockpit to do a proper-4.. also the -5 if you chose to go that route would need an entire new front cockpit tub and side wall detail, it's that different.

Scrodes Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 How does one get a hold of G-Factor. I wonder if they would let us do a group buy. I noticed the same defect on my landing gear, but I wanted to make sure that there wasn't something else I was missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Any progress on this one since July update of interior side wall painting or is this another HpH build resting on the SOD? Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi Andy... I actually am back working on aircraft again and I'm happy to report the Helldiver is unpacked and on the bench again.

Scrodes Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Sorry to ask again, but how do I get a hold of someone from G-factor to order a set of landing gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
