Default RE: Silly question about tissue paper covering


ORIGINAL: ErikMB

I glued together the papered wings, hoz and ver tail. They're not perfectly straight. I'll have to be more careful on the next model.

I used UHU to secure them. I think this may be a mistake so I reinforced with diluted wood glue. Next time I'll use straight wood glue or CA.

I think I was just impatient with the baby crying, wife exhausted, older kid going nuts, and my carpool arriving.

Tonight I will apply the plastic parts like the nose cone and some vents and blisters that make this into a bf109.

Then, a real coat of acrylic dope, not just a diluted one sprayed on.

Then, fly it around with my kid and the appropriate airplane noises and then... the painting to make it look cool!

Once decaled and dried, my kid gets (yet another) model plane to hang in her room! She loves them! That's my girl!!!!
Nice to have a girl that turns her room into your hangar Just could not resist this one. .
