STWilliams Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It's beautiful! I particularly like the swept wings for high speed - pure optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dries quickly (no need to wait for spot putty solvent to evaporate), doesn't shrink, sands easily, and the CA adds hardness to the wood without increasing weight. I used it to construct trails/frame out of balsa for a 1/24 Gribeauval 12 pdr gun many moons ago, and it allowed me to get squared sharp corners impossible to achieve with soft balsa alone. I think it might be just what you're looking for to get thin trailing edges. Hth, Rob Excellent idea Rob, I'll give it a try. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
