Lyle’s Jet GB subject is ...

[Stuart]

So is this still collecting dust Lyle?

[LyleW]

Yeah, I guess. The intakes took a lot of the fun out of it. Bruce offered up a good solution, though. Just too many going on at one time. It isn’t dead.

[Stuart]

Ah common problem with that kit I think. I've not built anything that size yet but I should at some point so I can see what everyone else was on about!

[LyleW]

That would be fun to see! In this case, size isn’t a factor so much. Crappy design and manufacturing seem to be the problems.

I should not stress over that too much, though. No one sees any of the builds.

[LyleW]

Lyle, why not cut some pieces of thin smooth card stock and glue these over the gaps.....

Hey, Bruce....any ideas as to what will glue paper/card stock to plastic? CA didn't. testors red tube didn't. Elmers white glue didn't.

May switch to really thin plasti-card....Hmm...……….

Re-started this one. It is #4 of the Group Build items. Had to glue the entire fuselage halves again. Seems hitting the floor split the seam...along the entire length of the body. Then, I like to never got the tape off!

[Stuart]

Good to see this on the bench again lyle!

[LyleW]

Thanks, Stuart. It will be a time-filler while the C-54 is being built.

[LyleW]

dah duh...dah duh, dah duh dah duh.....It lives. Well sort of anyway. Stuck the wings on it just for kick and because my coffee cup is empth.



between this, the C-54, the Spruce Goose, B-29 (S.O.S) and the Gigant (S.O.S)….I'm gonna need a bigger boat.

[Stuart]

Woohoo! that looks cracking Lyle!

[LyleW]

Thanks. It is still pretty rough. Not having.much luck covering the intake vanes. I do believe they will be okay?
