LSP_K2 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'll be giving this a big pass. Cool for those that like this sort of thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Rxcellent job by HK tooling the new clear fuselage with none if the interior detail that would otherwise spoil the view. Pity they couldnt be bothered to fix the glasshouse and gave the blisters molded correctly. Having to glue them in place what where they thinking? Still the biggest letdown on both the Lanc and Nose kits. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Using glue for clear parts like watch crystal cement will not solve the problem? Hmmm I guess I will find out. Maybe I will leave them off if a botch job is eminent. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Use Future as the glue? monthebiff, Uncarina and Phartycr0c 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The edges of each hole need to be smoothed and polished to create the illusion that the bubble is part of the canopy.

The blister option allows for the build of a MK 1 Lanc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt do it with either of my builds and to be honest you cant tell unless you really look. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
