Default RE: Xtreme jets RAFALE project and paint

I took a look at your video. Yes, in many areas on my Rafale the fuselage broke loose from the formers. The worst areas where around the main gear formers and in the nose section. I didn't have chunks come off like in your picture however. I first noticed this problem when I was trying to get all the little white foam beads out of the jet (I bet there are still some hiding in there). I used thin CA over most of the glue joins and that has been holding up quite well. The thin CA can easily wick in between the glue joins and the fuselage.

I showed my wife your paint scheme and she really liked it. Please get some video once you’re airborne. Should look really cool….
