I ended up using the "slow setting" epoxy for that very reason. .. After all is said and done, I would suggest filing/cutting a vee shape at the joint of the wheels on the outside and then using super glue in the joint. More sanding, etc. but it helps. .. Just my opinion and technique. Thats why I gradually stressed the spokes and kept them clamped for a bit, just to help getting/letting the adhesives to really set up. .. Also, before seting the epoxy I roughed up the surface for adhesion. .. Later Tom --- ot811 wrote: > Tom, > I was going to send you some pics in a few days. > It is coming > along well.

I'm just starting to work on mine - (as a rest cure after struggling with a BM SE5a which has been put back into the stack till I feel up to the fight - it's no. 1489 out of 1500, and I guess the moulds had pretty well had it by then.) Compared to the BM, the early Ed. kit's not a bad bit of moulding has a decent instruction sheet, and only cost me £5. The question is: colour. The Ed. kit has several options amongst which is a blue one (Ltn. Hermann Vallendor, J.15) and also a green one (Ltn. Fritx Beckhard, J.5) nice and colourful and a change from Udets Red 'un. However, which blue? Which green. Anyone got any ideas I imagine the blue being a mid blue? The green sort of a dunklegrun? Any refs? any ideas? From the builds I've seen in the gallery I take it that people don't much like the lozenge decals that are supplied, so is Eagle strike a good replacement? I've managed to avoid lozenge up till now... Please 'scuse all the ???s.
