pabbi Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 I am afraid of all that resin, for me I think this one will be a real challenge pictures of my hometown a "few" years ago, no it is not me running after the Goose 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using resin is not so difficult. You should only be careful not to breath the resin dust, as it is harmful to one's health. Therefore, my approach to cutting and sanding the resin parts is as follows: I always wear a respirator mask I also wear latex gloves, but this is my standard practice to avoid staining the plastic or resin parts with my fingers I cut and sand the parts on a damp kitchen paper towel to prevent the resin dust from spreading all over the place I replace the paper towel frequently to avoid a great accumulation of dust when glueing the resin parts you'll have to use super-glue (Cyan-Acrylate). It hardens fast, so you should use the slowest setting variety when glueing parts than need some fit adjustment. You can see a lot of resin parts in use in my on-going MiG-29 build. Cheers Jaime PS: great pictures of the Goose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
