This may seem a bit sacrilegious to some, but a tap and die set is simply a bridge too far for me. If I had a tap and die, or any hope of getting one, which I don't, I'd probably follow Jason's recommendation to tap the aluminium armature and mount thusly. But since I just can't afford to order one ( just the plastruct is costing me another fifty dollars) and in any case would quite like to mount on a posable panavise knuckle, I'm hoping to bodge a threaded insert (of the type we use on the X-wings) into the lower mount hole in the resin body of the fuselage. Since the hole is obviously way too big, the only way to do this, seems to me, is to fix it in there with epoxy. I've run the idea past Martyn and he's inclined to do something along these lines too. So I've opened this thread up for any more threaded-insert-mounters who may be pondering this option, and to ascertain how feasible it is. Will the expoxy hold? How to get it in there without screwing it up etc...
