Your best bet is to drill both pieces and insert a bras/metal pin. The CA will hold then, but a butt joint is always going to be weak. Best of luck!

In Russia, models build you! Fantastic work- cheers!

Try a general clear coat- matte or gloss, your choice. Maybe just a small area on the bottom to test. It's a simple solution that's worked for me for various transparent boo-boos. HTH- and cheers!

Wonderful, Fozzy! In case you didn't know, Red Devil brand spackle is perfect for filling the grain and imperfections on balsa wood. Thin it to a paste with water, brush it on and when dry sand it nice and smooth. Paint on some clear water-based varnish for a tough finish. A bonus is that it's so light I could use it on rubber-powered free flight models. Cheers!

Thanks, Spooky! Quarantine has given me lots of bench time. Have you seen my LanceR thread in In-ProgessPics? http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/285332-natos-lancer-update-5262020/page/5/#comments Cheers!

Thanks, Steve! Much better- cheers!

I use a Canon PowerShot Elph 340HS- I'm sure there are newer versions, but these little Canon cameras have always done it for me.

I did. I have been writing the posts in Thunderbird emails and saving as drafts- that codes the urls into links. There's the rub! Right-clicking yields an option to copy and paste as plain text. Rich text code removed- problem solved- please share. Thanks, Steve! Sorry for the inconvenience, and huge appreication for all you for modeldom. Cheers!

In this thrilling episode, we take a long, hard look at the ejector seat trolley- read on!

I have their OV-1 engine set and it's perfectly cast. The stowage sets in these builds were a lot of fun to paint!

Nice work, M3! The upper joins of the nacelles are often reported as very tricky- did you have any problems? Yours look pretty darn good- cheers!

ChernayaAkula THANK YOU! I had the wrong url for this most important 🙂 pic:

Wow- I just can't edit this post to make the images work- sorry.

Thanks, guys! Here's an update- enjoy! I have enough material to do another, but I didn't want to flood the system. 😉 http://www.chukw.com/Hobby/MiG21/MiG21_120.jpg[/img] http://www.chukw.com/Hobby/MiG21/MiG21_121.jpg[/img] http://www.chukw.com/Hobby/MiG21/MiG21_122.jpg[/img] http://www.chukw.com/Hobby/MiG21/MiG21_123.jpg[/img] http://www.chukw.com/Hobby/MiG21/MiG21_124.jpg[/img] http://www.chukw.com/Hobby/MiG21/MiG21_125.jpg[/img] http://www.chukw.com/Hobby/MiG21/MiG21_126.j
