Default RE: American Eagle B-17 Build

Thanks for the info butlern...I checked out their website. The joiners are very nice. The Sig joiners are $15 per set and will save me $60 total compared to the Giant Scale Twins joiners. The Sig joiners have set screws but not the mounting screws. Wouldn't take much to do it myself.

Wife and I drove around the city of Manama (largest city on Bahrain). We found a boat supply store (lots of rich people with LARGE yachts here) and they had the epoxy resin glue I need. This stuff is bullet proof. It is thick, will not run, and fills voids....... 24 hour cure time. Not sure I'll use it for the nacelles though...I like the idea of using some glass cloth for strength. But for joining simple joints, like the fuselage pieces, fuselage formers, etc. this stuff seems perfect. Will glue anything to anything....well not really...directions say it will not adhere to some gel coat surfaces.
