Strach building novice

[PhantomBigStu]

Complete noob here when it comes to SB, aside from making the odd lump with miliput, but I need to SB some flap actuators on my airfix vulcan, as I lost them during sanding, at my wits end, tried miliput and spare sprue but failed with both, can see in this pic what I'm trying to replicate. Anyone give me some advice, really am lost, put so much into the build I do not want to give up.

Have you tried Oyumaru? Put the Oyumaru block in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, then press it over the part, wait for it to cool and harden, then press some milliput inside the impression. Once the milliput has completely cured, tidy up the new part and glue it to the model.

 

Hope this helps.

That sounds ideal for what i need and future work, I shall investige

I'd file a channel in there and glue in a piece of stretched sprue of the right diameter. Then carefully cut and sand into the desired shape.

Thats more complicated than needs be paul, a look at the real thing shows they should just be the thin teardrops as on the kit, but whatever method I end up using does need to easily duplicated as there are 12 of them to make up.
