Need help on scale project!
 
Just got finished painting my long ranger fuselage but I don't know how i will put them together. I'd like it when I put them together I could still take them apart piece by piece incase I need to fix it. Any idea guys?
Thanks.

This is a .60 funkey fuselage modified to fit gasser & it's broken into 2 sections,the front part & the body & tail section.I know how to put them together but I'd like to know if you guys use duct tape or something to hold them together temporarily so you can take them apart incase you need them to.
Thanks.

If you mean holding them together prior to completion, so you can do fitments, etc, then get some mini Quick-Clamps, or the less expensive version aka clothesline clips.

holdong fuse together
 
like greg said, tape works for temo holding in place while building. but for after the build, i ise a combo of 440 screws and blond nuts to hold them together. the blind nuts are glued to small pieces of lite ply which are also epoxied to the fuse on the inside. now if u have to remove the mechs for maintenance, you just undo the screws. there should be enough screws around the fuselage to give ample support. hope this helps
