Jan_G Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 with recently finished Boeing F3B its time to restart Uhu build after several months I have realized that tamiya epoxy was wrong way for this model and glued joints remain fragile another problem was dihedral which is quite significant in case of Uhu so i just needed to correct it so I broke all major parts and glued them together again with HPH epoxy glue which became only game in town for me for gluing resin kits between the hulls and the wings remain visible gaps, which require aditional material to fill and will require heavy sanding and rescribing panels but that is not big deal, most important is that geometry is ok on the other hand engine cowling are masterpieces and after carefull cleaning they just look great and I like how HPH solved propeller axis thanks for looking jan LSP_Kevin, DougN, Lars Befring and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chukw Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 You are a couyrageous modeller indeed, Jan- cheers on your marvelous efforts! lessons learned: If you poured a soap water in the sink - always use strainer - waste disposer ate 3 parts in past week I put small parts in a fine-mesh bag available at aquarium stores- never lose another part!

ClumsyDude Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Looks great Jan. How do you find sanding the epoxy? I'd worry that it would get harder than the plastic and impossible to get straight. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan_G Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looks great Jan. How do you find sanding the epoxy? I'd worry that it would get harder than the plastic and impossible to get straight. Jim Thanks Jim. It is far easier to sand epoxy than e.g. CA glue for me. I usually use engraving drill tool to make rough work and after itits quite simple to smooth surface with sand paper. To be honest, I hate all sanding work, it's my least favorite part of the building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
