ive been working on this off and on for a while. I hope you guys like it.
here is some dry fitting of the parts and generally sizing this kit up....
more dry fitting, I got the hull tacked together. I waxed up the brass tubes that were cast into the wings, lined them were I wanted them, then made up some dental acrylic and covered the brass tubes with it, once it cured and a few minutes, I pulled the wings off, now the wings can come off and on and will fit back to the exact position every time.
next I flat sanded the engine parts, removed the cast resin u channel bits.
dry fit the parts back together
then glued new u channel back onto the engine cans. this way seamed much easier then cleaning the cast ones up. I also got the guns mounted, and plastic tubes in place...what ever those things are called.
the back engine parts are just dry fitted for now.
holes were drilled for wiring leds for the engines.
