Lot of detail packed into a tiny space, nice.

I always forget that 'tape it down' method. I'm a locking tweezer guy, which usually means I'm a 'spray and try to find it while I spill the color cup on my new pants that my wife warned me not to wear while painting' guy.

Impressive 1/72 cockpit work, Christian

Thanks strange ways . Not so much to do with me really. It's just a very impressive cockpit .

I just realized I don't even have any of the leaver in place yet :coolio

With the other things that need doing ( like going out to get some Acetone, ect.

The day will probably get used up again :frantic

Got to tell you ....Whatever it takes . Tape , blue tack or super glue on a toothpick keeps you from chassing a lot of bitty parts that are really good at hiding.

Still , I get tagged in those games at times.

Thanks James, Iron Mike and Mike for checking on my progress

I have been using this superglue since the IPMS Nats and I must tell you that it's a great product.

However, the dispenser tip has become a major problem causing me to break two pins pulling them out.

SOoooo, last night I called Dr. Mike and asked how he treats the problem. Here's the solution/
.

Place scotch tape on open bottle and toss the tips, ect in for a while.

Having my glue tip restored , I decided to do some gluing.

Of course the clamps did not fit where they needed to be so I improvised by using some woodworking skills .

After a lot of measuring and hoping , I hope the inside walls are glued in the proper place.

I find these AM kits difficult to assemble since they don't provide good instructions .

The IP. is the worst culprit.

So, armed with my legos and some close pins I glued the first part to the airframe :hmmm

How did a babushka get in here ? I thought they did not like the Germans...

Or was that a remark about my building speed
