wellzy Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) The story so far I have put some old bits of etch on the side walls to break down the plan look of the kit . well having fun lost one bit all ready and the Eduard is a wrong colour and the self adhesive is not so the cockpit will get a wash of grey to take the blue down and using gloss varnish to hold them in place Edited June 17, 2013 by wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I've had trouble with the adhesive on Eduard sets in the past, I use a thin smearing of Kristal Klear to glue them in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gajman Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've also found that the self adhesive parts are sometimes not so self adhesive. But they do add nice detail so it's worth the hassle. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellzy Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Cockpit is done all but the seats ,don't do as the instructions say by locating the cockpit floor to part C28 and B9 as the cockpit will not reach the side walls . now I can start the rest of the build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter W Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The Hasegawa kit is a bit the same when fitting the two halves together, but some elbow grease and a good sanding stick will sort it Les. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
