Cole,
Yes CA only. I know what your thinking as I thought the same. I used a couple of drops for what I thought was going to be a light tack. When I tried to remove them I was forced to break the balsa just to remove them. So with only a couple of drops being that strong, covering the entire piece with thick CA the pieces will never come off.

So I tried to make full size prints from my scale outline (panel profiles see attached photos). I have made PDF’s for my Scale Masters Documentation (see photos 10 and 11). So if anyone wants me to email them, send me a PM and I’ll email them to you. However, take note. This showed me a lot of errors in the Top Flite Giant ARF Corsair.
Errors like the fuselage is to short in the mid section, the tip at the tail is way to long and has the incorrect shape and the cowl is to short in length. Also it really shows that my canopy frame is not scale. The cross bars on the top that makes it a F4U-1A are to high for the side profile. Oh well I’ll try to repair or be forced to make another one.

The full size prints did assist in general areas for panel lines, however, I found that a little smaller print out was better for drawing them onto the model. I used a pencil first and then a black Sharpie. I found out that the pencil was best and the Sharpie was not necessary.

I’ll continue on and try to make as many corrections as I can, however, there are some I simply can not over come. Their are areas out of my abilities and or should have been made at building time. Also I’m running out of time. I want to be complete before May. I hope!
