Duncan Cook AuteurI forgot to mention that I already removed the slabs of the wings.
They were standard on the 29th series.

Duncan Cook AuteurThe 29th series were equiped with automatic slabs.
They were not standard at the 4th series.

Dirk Heyer@Dave He means that this type was equipped with automatic wing slats to increase manoeuvrability! Previous types was equipped with fixed one!
🙂
Btw, a fine start Duncan, I will stay tuned to watch your progress!
I like your improvised workbench! Reminds me to long time ago and working on mothers kitchen table!! 🙂

Duncan Cook AuteurI started the kit during the "pfingstbastelrausch" That means I visited with 2 other friends another friend and we were building together. A big thanks to "Flying Circus" and to Friedrich and Michael for the great weekend. I will upload pictures of it later.

Duncan Cook AuteurTHe Aircraft was very close for it's final flight against the wall.
The Glue of the Roden Decals is so agressive that it softened the paint to the plastic.
I had to remove a big area of paint because it has gotten soft.
At the newest photo you can see the damage, I applied a bit greenf or the visibility of the edges, Now I was able to hide the most of it, you can only see it when light shines on this area.
At the other side I was lucky, only the first coat of future was attacked, but you can still see the damage at this side, a small star shaped hole in the future.
First Thing i did yesterday was burning the Decals as a stress reducing action.

Roland SachsenhoferOh Duncan, reading your description I remembered our little conversation about Rodens rodden decals! Now I understand...
I hope stress reduction has worked properly!

Duncan Cook AuteurI glued the parts because I have only this cannopy.
The Plastic was too hard. Not elastic enough, as I grabed it with a Pinzette to apply future to it it made crack.
I will bike to a friend in some minutes.
I cna't gurantee for nothing now, that's why I leave.

Bill GilmanEvery once in a while, there is a kit where these things happen. Don't go nuts, save that for really serious matters. This is just a piece of plastic. 🙂

Holger KranichThese are the "precious" moments in modeling... I would be glad if I could say that it only happened one time to me...

Duncan Cook AuteurIt's just the thing I've put so much effort in this kit. That's why I got so angry.

Holger KranichI understand you very good, Cookie! A bath in future will maybe help! Not you, the canopy!😢

Duncan Cook AuteurHolger the Cannopy is completly broken, not just a crack.
I glued the parts but it doesn't llok very good.
I will ask a friend if he got a replacement part.

Album info
A very nice litle kit, but it needs lots of work.
You should get the Toko issiue the moulds are a bit better.
And here the plastic is very bad, it was absorbing the glue in it.
So you need to apply more glue as usual.
