hi ALL, I also discovered that Theatre Beard,/Eye Brow Gum etc is suitable to hold Etch parts in place. Either permantley (Internal Parts ) or before applyin a CA Glue. Canopies ? ..... is water solible tho....... otherwise your'll never git that beard orff ! Thinkin' the Gum may also hold Styrene parts in place temporilly. Recently found it great to hold Wing struts in place on a surface when scratch assemblin' ....and STOPS where has that bit gorn now ! hhhhhhhhrrrrrr g.g.m.s. ! cheery "modellin' mumbas ! G

The MATCHBOX P12E ? NO PROBS Also that the Brace leans forward to the Location Point on the Fuselage not directly to the Fuselage as the Photo Etch Part is cut to be hhhhhhrrrr2 ! ....seems a bit wide and is not an Aerofoil Section Oh well .......
