I keep a small jar of it with my modelling stuff and apply it with a fine brush. I use it sparingly for fixing canopies and for the 1/72 Mk 24 Spit I made recently I taped (very thin strips of Tamiya tape) the vacuformed canopy to the fuselage sides, to reduce the gap, left it 24 hours and it stuck fine. I never use ordinary poly or superglue (cryo, CA) anywhere near clear parts. I also use it for attaching small parts at the end of a build where the stronger glues might spoil the finish. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thanks @Johnson Charlie, I will give that a go. A few more decals on and did not expect the wing walk way decals to go down as easy as they did! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Looking good. Just a question. It the dark green RLM71 or RLM70? The reason I ask is I always use RLM71. Did they Also use RLM70? I rather like the look of your one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they Also use RLM70? I rather like the look of your one. Hi Greg, in late 1939 the Luftwaffe started to change the 109s camo to something much lighter. To that effect they replaced the RLM 70 by the RLM 02, keeping the RLM 71 as before. At the same time, the light blue RLM 65 was brought way up on the sides of the fuselage and on the vertical surfaces. The RLM 70 was kept for spinners and propellers. Hope that helps a little bit.

Valkyrie Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 A small bit to do on this and still a few other models that probably won’t make it. 12 builds across 6 GBs did it for me. I won’t get a chance to properly weather this as tonight and probably Sunday will be my last bench time for BoB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
