More update about the Doolittle Mitchell:

After final inner matt and clear on instruments , glued windows, cockpit pieces

Image

Image

Image


Gled fuselage withouth significative problems , used some strange tool to align wings with danish and chinese technology help


Image

Image


After this i realize one of the windows was runed by too much glue , obliviously in the inner side, so i removed, polished , glossy clear and glued again trhought the cockpit

Image


Another test for the nose wright ( and keep in mind that more weight is under the glazed nose)

Image


Glued the nose and tail rudders, and the canopy.. some part ruined again with extra thin cement :bag:

Just curious, but why don’t you use a different glue for attaching clear parts? I know the clear parts glue types don’t have the same strength, but they do help cut down on the headaches of marred clear plastic.

This is excellent so far. I gotta get me some Legos!

I agree with Carlos; I only use cement for clear parts. I've found that the Micro Scale clear parts cement seems to be the strongest so far, although the Testor's stuff runs a close second.
