PE Balloon Cable Cutter braces installed. Next, the main Cutter then paint.
Not painful to do as I thought. Pretty much straightforward. Only 7 parts in all.

Well, crap.... found out the wi g braces are UPSIDE DOWN! 
Out came the Debonder to remove them carefully and try again. Never a dull moment for me...

Bummer - hope the fix doesn't do too much damage. It's looking really good.
Thanks,

Re: Heinkel He111H-8 w/ Balloon Cable Cutter
Paint I can deal with. Bent PE braces I'll straighten them out the best I can. I've already glued only the cable cutter braces bottom points with CA glue and left to dry overnight. I'll resume the top wing points next.
It's getting there and she'll be finished hopefully by the weekend. Wished I had paid close attention the first time. Oh well....
In the meantime, I started my next "target" subject. Progress pics and work in progrees thread forthcoming later tonight.

DeBonder, James DeBonder - can be your friend. I've also heard that an overnight stay in a freezer will loosen them. Work slow. I think you've got this.l
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Didn’t think of putting it in the freezer. I’ll have to remember that next time.
