Wild Weasel

 

the cockpit tub is far too narrow for the fuselage . had to fill it with styrene strip ( the white bits on the sides) as it looked awful 

another view of the giant gaps that have been filled with styrene 

rubberised black superglue for some strength 

quinta interior fitted to expanded side panels  

rear fuselage is a butt-join without much to locate it - used styrene strips again to line up the two halves (not using the two internal engine rings that are in the kit - they're good if you're having the back half exposed but don't help with attaching the rear fuselage permanently ) 

 

 

 

 

For Skyhiker - clear gorilla glue on a 109 canopy . No fogging (but admittedly it wasn’t in an enclosed area to concentrate any fumes ) looks like it will be fine - but gorilla glue takes a VERY LONG time to cure - overnight . It will move and self level if you use a lot of it  

Replacing sanded off aerials with 3D printed switches and knobs …
 

 

And some eduard surface panel decals… we’ll see what they turn out like … 

Masking …. 4 colour camo needs a lot of tape ? 

 

Stencils are fun …. Apparently  

 

But at least these are able to remove the carrier film and make them seamless
