Thanks Subzero, think I might just use a similar idea on mine. Might make getting the planes out a little easyer than using drops of CA glue like they recomend!
I have fitted the planes and rudders on mine just a moment ago. As others have said I have used a mix of my own ideas, and advised methods from here.
I pinned and glued all the rudder fins, and prop cowls and end flaps etc and used epoxy to cement them in place.
Just 2 pins and Epoxy to fix.
While on the Hydroplanes as I said previous I used a solid brass rod as the pivot arm, and a brass tube as the bearing for it, which is epoxyed into the hull. Greased and free enough to slide out for maintanence if absolutley neccessary.
The brass rod bearing protrudes slightly out of the hull and goes into the plane ( about 4mm ) just to add a bit of extra strength to the structure. Works ok as long as you drill a slightly larger hole for the tube to sit in the plane.
Now waiting on glue to harden properley, and off to keep her happy and get some decorating done
