SPA Modeler

Thanks, Silvio. I'll go take a look. You are a good friend!

With the windows, I was able to get a small "blob" of glue in the opening and then slowly drag it across the opening with the tip of the bottle. I think I like the tape idea, though. Leaves less to clean up!

I tried this way for windows but never satisfued if results, even a sort of emptyness lens effect in the middle of the clear part :(

Oh well. They do have a certain flimsy nature to them.

the problem is probably the liquid i used to do windows, the clear contacta revell glue , sort of vynil glue

Cockpit isn't as nice as BSY's. The wheels came off that bus in no time. So much for getting cocky. More when I feel like it. have pics on the camera.

Waiting for pictures but think the bus wheel is correct by the pictures I see about the glider version

I have found Italaerie's instructions to be somewhat lacking in some cases regarding the exact sequence of assembly. For me, the seats would not stay put and I managed to cut off a small sliver on the back of one. Not much room for sprue cutters. BSY, with your permission, I may borrow some of your ideas on the cockpit, since I have to scratch some seat pieces and a control column or two. Took two steps back and realized this is a OPPORTUNITY with a capital O, that's right...

Anyway a few pictures....

Decided to close up the gun ports on the clamshell.











That is about it. Taking care of seams now







Oh, this is the way we sand our seams, sand our seams, sand our seams. This is the way we sand our seams, all day long.

Looking good Lyle

Great scratch building Lyle! It's shaping up really nice !!
