Re: AMT 1/25 Fruehauf 40' Box Trailer
I usually build two parts out of four first then join the two assemblies. For instance, floor, back door, and left side; then top, front, and right side. Then do the final join after the glue is well set. Something I often do building RC planes.

Naw, fitting the front cap. But, thanks for asking!Dragline wrote:Yap Yap Yap Yap Yap.... Get on with it my bloke...
Is it finished or what?

That sounds like good ideas. I’ll keep that in mind, as there may be others.

I needed a good chuckle
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...
Re: AMT 1/25 Fruehauf 40' Box Trailer
Probably be more laughs tomorrow when I pop it all apart and start over. But, I’m okay with that.

Well, not really, but thanks. It looked great until I tried to fit the the rear doors.

DeBonder, James DeBonder.....
Okay, the trailer box is apart and I am now cleaning up the leftover glue mounds and joints. j
Anyone have a good method for removing the last of the residue from the debonder?

it wasn't square. had a 1/8" twist in it, so the rear doors would not fit properly. Going back together now.
