SirBlueHenry Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Wing join not good. Not happy with this but whatever I was doing was just not working. I really think they should have recessed the join under that wing joint fairing. anyway - now I have a crap wing joint. It looks worse in this close up than it is, but still, have to do something about that sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Wing join not good. Not happy with this but whatever I was doing was just not working. I really think they should have recessed the join under that wing joint fairing. anyway - now I have a crap wing joint. It looks worse in this close up than it is, but still, have to do something about that I had similar issues with mine, having just attached the wings myself. I was convinced it was something I'd done (sanded too much here or there), but now I realise it wasn't me. FWIW, mine came up OK after I ran some gap-filling CA gel along the joins, followed up later with the Vallejo Plastic Putty, which I wiped away with a damp cotton bud. I can post a photo later either here or in my own thread if you like. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 post one here - lets see OK, here's the port one, same as in your photo: And the starboard one, which still needs a little more work: I'll probably brush some Mr Surfacer along the join.

SirBlueHenry Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 another thing i you can see in the photo of the lower section that there are 2 cutouts where the flap would get inserted, but the cutouts actually extend into the lower surface of the wing, so if, as I am doing you do flaps up, you end up with 2 long thing gaps - another feature they should NOT have done.

SirBlueHenry Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 thanks for the pics. Ima actually really wondering now how to build this without the problem, i really did try and get a good fit but not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBlueHenry Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Just seen that each of the flap sections is about 1.5mm to short. The 2 outer flaps also have an incorrect angle on the inboard part. It should be 90 degree but is not. (OK - I may be wrong here - need to check my photos.) seems they planned for the flaps to form a continous flap line when flaps lowered, but thats not how it on thne real aircraft Edited April 26, 2014 by SirBlueHenry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkmouth Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Still watching! I will be referencing this (and Kevin's) build when I continue mine, especially since Zotz will have the Texans over Africa decal sheet ready soon.
