Archimedes Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi All I am currently building the Matchbox Bf109-E and dressing up the cockpit. I am using airscale instrument decals and photo etch instrument bezels. the decals went down nicely. What is the recommendation for the best method of attaching the brass bezels? Many thanks in anticipation of your advice. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Safest and fastest is PVA glue. Remove the excess glue with a small paintbrush. The rest will dry transparent. HTH Quang lawman56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'm always using Future to do that. It leaves close to zero residue and when dried, it is so thin that it has no visible thickness. Moreover, it is hard when dried. So, it supports sanding if required.

So do you dip it or paint it on the back of the bezel? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I put a small drop on the panel where the bezel needs to be positioned. And if you want to get a better bond, just paint the internal and external edges of the bezel afterwards.
