Well crap!! I lost a PE right trim tab actuator. I was holding it in my tweezers and preparing to put a little CA glue on it. Next thing I know, it disappeared to God knows where. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
Looked on the floor, cleared the workbench top... nothing.
I even checked myself if it had landed on me.

I'm quitting for the night and will resume the hunt tomorrow. It couldn't have gone very far. I just need a bright LED flashlight to catch the shininess of the PE part.

Damn that sucks! I've had that happen too plenty of times. I have a VERY hungry carpet monster.

She looks great with those monster wings. Bummer about the PE, but ya - tweezers just launch the stuff.
Thanks,

Looking real good Tom! I’m loving that twin .30 mount! :wub:

Yeah, not the first time the tweezers sent tiny and small parts flying into the blackhole. 90% of the time I do find them… IF I know the direction it went. This time I didn’t see it. I do know which direction I pointed the tweezers. :bag:

This one will be built “wheels up”. With that being said, I will be looking for a 4 blade prop blur set. She will be hung n a dive with bomb doors open and displacement gears extended. It’s just the matter of finding the perfect spot to display/hang it.

I have a couple ideas. One being hanging from my ceiling by my bench. The other, possibly enclose it in a clear display box and using a strong clear styrene rod inserted into the rear portion of the fuselage. I would hang the the display case on any wall.

Bombing your bench... i guess that's one excuse for disorder in the build area!

Quick question regarding painting photo etch. This one comes with 4 dive flaps - top and lower on each wing. Is it recommended to put a coat of primer before painting?
