easixpedro Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 As with the others, no joy on the pics in your last post. My hats off to you for plowing ahead on this. Mine is currently stalled as this kit is such a beast to convert. Not on the SOD, but I definitely had to give it a break and finish something easy. -Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the pictures in a new folder, and then forgot to make it shareable. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armor fiend Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 Of course, I had cemented together the tails previously, so, needed to see if I could crack them apart without damaging them. Fortunately, limonene cement welding isn't as thorough as mek or other solvents. So, after running more around the seams, I was able to insert a knife and slowly pop it open. I did break one of the tabs for the control surface, but I'd damaged it earlier. Got some 60 grit sandpaper at the hardware store and ran into a new problem. I couldn't move the dang things across the surface of the sandpaper, it had so much friction. Not while putting even pressure on it, anyway. Eventually figured it out, and much sanding later, removed approximately half a millimeter from each side. I think it looks much better and more properly scaled compared to the non-sanded tail. I'll need to putty it up, but that's for another day. Paul in Napier, chaos07, Landrotten Highlander and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, between my brother picking a fight with gravity and me getting covid, I lost about two months build time (we went back again to help out). I plan to start again this week. Gonna be hard pressed to finish by July, but I'm not gonna trade time for quality. If I make it on time, great. If not, I'll just tell Dad something is in the works.

So, that was a lie. I'll get back on it soon. I just got distracted by other models. LSP_Kevin and D.B. Andrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
