Default RE: Skymaster Mig-29 OVT Single with S-bus Build

My first kit had some cracks on the fuse where the glass was too thin. I wanted to reinforce the places where it was flimsy. I talked to Dantley and he gave me a few more tips on where to reinforce things. Carbon mesh wasn't as strong as I thought it would be. Carbon tape did the trick. The bottom of the engine nacelles flex quite a bit between the formers, if you sat the plane on a stand, it could crack the fuse if you aren't close to a former. The two rear hatches dimpled in quite a bit with light pressure. The other area was in the wheel wells. The glass on top was very flexible. One wrong grab and you could put your fingers through it.
