ForestFan Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Sorry for the poor pic but you can probably see the gap I have between the canopy an fuselage? What would you recommend to fill this without harming the clear plastic? Any help appreciated! Bryn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Try using some Evergreen Styrene strip, or cut your own, and VERY CAREFULLY using liquid glue stick it in there til closed! HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 White glue like 'Elmers', UHU, Kristal Kleer or any other kind of PVA (poly-vinyl-acetate) . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Humbrol has a clear drying glue specifically for transparant parts. You could try filling the gap with that. HTH! Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UKPonchoMan Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 If you're going to use white glue - be careful! I used Krystal Kleer for mine. Looked fine. Then the fuselage cracked when I was tidying it. I washed the airframe carefully to get all the swaft and dust off... And the transparency then fell off Bear in mind I was building 5 at the time, and EVERY ONE of them did this.... Chris St Clair Quote Link to post Share on other sites
