I've used Cascos Araldit Professional epoxy lately to stick resin into plastic. It gives lots of time to adjust (dries overnight), has good filling characteristics and sands very nicely, and excess can also be wiped away with household tissue. Rather easy to blend. I've been toying with the thought to start using this on P/E parts which are exposed to relatively high stress.

Wings are split in three parts each with separate ailerons, the trailing edges are a bit thick and not to well defined (steps). I intend to sand down the thickness and erase the raised lines below, using painted strips of decals to represent ribs. The fuselage is a piece of art, the subtle lines in the front captured. You can only build the Falcon engined version, so I will have to use milliput and build up the Puma cowling for a Norwegian version. I haven`t seen the fuselage curve down that much from the backseat towards the tail on previous kits, it seems to match photos and later drawings pretty well. Metal parts include beautiful wheels, u/c legs with small props in place, propeller, exhausts, seat, a cowling front which is slightly incomplete (may have been better if cast in more than one piece), tailskid, Lewis mg and some smaller pieces bent beyond recognition. There are also pieces of metal rod and plastic strut material as well as a small sheet of decals D7966 of 139Sqn. in Italy. All in all a typical Pegasus release, some very good parts, some that need extra work and you will of course need references besides the instructions inside and the drawings on the box. Should be plenty of other schemes to choose from, have to admit I am a bit disappointed that there are no alternative parts for different versions.

He then polishes the acrylic and masks the location with bare metal foil cut to the shape of the window for when he primes and paints the plane. I can assure you that I have never seen windows that are more clear and I have never been able to find one of his joints... Hope this helps someone out.

Message-ID: Howdy! If you are ready to start filling up the drawers and bins of your house with modeling supplies I suggest you head over to your nearest office supply store. You can buy a bottle of Post-It Note glue. Make your masks out of paper and apply them with the Post-It Note glue. Low tack, but strong enough not to get blown off by the airbrush. The office supply store also has lots of interesting clamps, clips and rubber bands that can come in handy. Have fun!

Much of modeling benefits from a keen eye while wandering hardware, office supply and art stores :-) As Brent says, Post-It notes, and the glue are boons for the modeler. Like he suggested, I always have a glue stick of this glue close at hand for temporarily sticking things together and attaching templates and masks. > I started cleaning up the parts...i've removed the flaps from the wings Those are ailerons, Greg. Flaps are something that get dropped for take off and landings, not for axial control. Fokker DVIIs don't have flaps :-) > and glued them back on angled up ever so slightly. I'm fixin' ta get the > paint tomorrow... One should be angled up while the other is angled downward. Good luck with that lozenge. The decals are in the mail to you, by the way.
