Gunfighter tail vertical fin issue
I received my Gunfighter from Tower Hobbies recently. This week I unpacked the fuse. The plane was packaged well and there was no obvious shipping damage. As it turns out the vertical fin was split open at the fuse seams and the rudder vertical bulkhead. This was factory build and packaging issue. Also the front windshield was broken in two places. I think the factory forced the bubble wrap on too tight when packaging. Also the vertical fin used a ceramic paste that broke out and was sparingly used. Tower customer service is great. They offered to replace the kit with a new one. Unfortunately they are backordered. It may be some four weeks before I could start the build. I decided to do my own repair of the damage. I used Hysol 9462 with the long mix nozzle to glue the split line seam and the vertical fin. The windshield will need new clear plastic windows. The cracked frame was easy to glue back together. I plan on using a DLE-61 engine and Robart air retracts. Overall the scale detail looks good for only my second gasser warbird. Does anyone know what is the best paint to use to touch up the vertical fin seam repairs?
