Hi Peter- Limonene (as sold by Mr Cement but widely available as a commercial product) is a much less aggressive solvent useful for bonding very thin styrene to styrene and other material with a surface key. Smells of citrous fruit. Seasonal Best Wishes to All.

And there was me hoping for a Wyvern TF1! Should it come to making brass look like steel/aluminium, I guess you know about 'immerse tin powder@ used for cold tinning? Les

RAF FG.1 XV571 WILD HARE Phantom Conversion

FWIW, I did some very similar butchery to my Revell 1/48 FGR to eliminate the fuselage/wing joint issues. -

Wasn't the floatplane Tiger Moth known as the Queen Bee? -

I sometimes wish the AM resin suppliers would offer some sort of premium service optimized for minimum shrinkage. I do a fair bit of home casting and generally use clear acrylic resin for just this purpose. Some of the resin aircraft I have bought have demonstrated up to 10% shrinkage- always assuming the masters had been worked to some closer approximation of actual scaled dimensions! les

Brilliant masking! Just a question- were the blades entirely wood with no leading edge sheathing? les

May I suggest the gear door fits may well have varied from aircraft to aircraft and have been adjustable to fit the particular airframe? (wheels up test etc). I have dealt with enough refits (not aircraft) to demonstrate stuff as made only approximately fits a drawing and even more rarely matches a stablemate to the nth degree. Otherwise my hat's off to North American for perfection. Les

The new(ish) self levelling acrylic primers go a loooong way in filling striations on curvatures (eg Ultimate primer). Easier to fine finish them than the base material. Les -

Hi Thannus Just for general reference and within the bounds of common facilities, brass and most thin etch metals can be made more maleable with just the heat of a candle flame (suggest non-soot type), electric heat gun or electric stove hob and is advisable whenever a fold or twist needs to be reworked. High heat blow torches etc are not recommended for the chances of competely melting the subject. Les

Hi Thannus I don't know what metal or thickness has been used in the etches but when it is nickel silver or brass the etching process can work harden the material and a gentle pre tempering can be useful- particularly where twists may be involved. I have an idea Eduard has a penchant for stainless steel, an etching material that is very rare in my main hobby of railway modelling, mainly because it is bloody difficult to work with. Les
