(ex)Sgtrafman Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hey everyone Just a small update just to prove that I am still working on this and my Tornado project. I have been focusing a lot of time trying to get the Alleycat intakes nicely blended in and I think I'm there now. My plan over the next few days is to re mask the cockpit area and access panels, re scribe the lost / vague detail and get some paint on it. Cheers all and Happy Easter!

bigbadbadge Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Looks very nice all together. Very meticulous fitting, filling, sanding and polishing. Great job Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchstone42 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 They are huge suckers - you’ve done well to blend them in so smoothly! Good luck for the rest of the scribing! What will you use? Needle? Scriber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ex)Sgtrafman Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hey everyone Well I can't believe that it's been almost a year since I did any work on my Phantom where does the time go? Ok so I thought I'd start off by giving her a light sanding in preparation for a touch of re scribing especially around the intake area's and I found that where the resin intakes join the plastic of the fuselage I have some cracking and its the same for both sides.... ummmm strange, I have in my arsenal some black, rubber toughened CA glue (I saw Plasmo use it on Youtube so I thought I'd buy some)... So my thinking is use some of this as a gap filler whilst giving a nice strong bond once dried and sanded back? I've never used it before so it could all go horribly wrong, has anyone else ever used this type of super glue? Anyway nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that I'll let you know how i get on...

Biggles87 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 That looks like an interesting product, I'll be interested to see if it works. Stay safe. John 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hi Iain Superb work on getting a tricky join done. I'd definitely try a test piece, I am sure it is fine (I always use CA for my gap filling and great to scribe over) just not sure about the 'rubber' and 'flexible' part. my only concern is you might not get a tidy scribe line?? I dont know, but let us know how you get on, looks like an interesting product Great to see an update on your Toom, lovley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 🇺🇦 Hi John Well it seems to work for Plasmo! Actually it seems to have worked for me too, its easy to apply and sands well too.. 1 hour ago, Anthony in NZ said: Hi Iain Superb work on getting a tricky join done.

(ex)Sgtrafman Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 So here is where I'm at at the moment, the cracks have been filled, lightly sanded back and Mr Surfacer 1200 reapplied... Now to leave it for 24 hours to cure fully before I decide my next plan of action. Cheers all Iain 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
