pinky coffeeboat Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'll be following this one. What I've noticed in your photo (and read about in other builds) is the slightly different diameters of the fuselage pieces. Is there anything about how they join that could be altered to reduce the step? Such a pity we don't have a nice top quality 777 kit. Even more of a pity that Revell chose to make a 747-8 (along with Zvezdas effort) instead of a 777...well this year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pperkins Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 ok as promised are review of what I did I first got my sanding board out (which is sandpaper fixed to a flat pace of wood) to sand down each part of the fuselage parts which in total there are 6, 3 each side. gluing tabs on one side to make for a better glue joint. glue the half's together (rear part with tail to the other part with rear tail) glues the rear part to the mid part making sure its level and straight note I have not stuck the nose part on yet as I need to add the gear bay and also nose weight which I am waiting for the new gear and other parts to arrive more coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
