A test if I can still build a vacu :)
Step 1: after separating from the sheet, sanding in shape (thinning the edges) and glueing with ethylacetate.
Step 2: cleaning and sanding the surface. Rivet lines restored and reinforcing stripes (doubler, of thick self adhesive aluminum foil) added. Entire structure reinforced with micro balloons and CA filled through two (supposed) maintenance openings . Supposed; invincible on original pictures because the small distance to the wing.

Bernhard SchrockThis morning I asked myself if I can Stil built a vacu?
The right test object was fast found. I bought this kit about 20 years ago and have been waiting for a completed model for as long. Until today there is only a resin kit beside the vacu. I'm curious if I can still do it.

Gordon SørensenLooks like a Chaika L-42, but the wing chord is too parallel. Following...
