looking great dave
I will glue the ailerons on when I have finished all the sanding and rescribing.If I put them on now they will get broken off whilst I'm working on the model.\ said:Taking a lot of notes for mine, looking very nice do far.
Will you glue moving surfaces later?
I would never have bought this kit myself Patrick.My wife got it for £30 in Debenhams for me after I said I wanted to get the Hurricane!.So I pretended I was really pleased to be given it and thought I had better build it.But I'm actually really enjoying the build!.\ said:You're doing some great stuff there Dave - this thread has so taken this kit off my list! I could never manage all that!
I've been using the Squadron product for years and I really like it.And it doesn't shrink.It contains Toluene ,so isn't liked by the 'Elf n Safety' brigade.Its good for big gaps on old kits.I also use Mr Surfacer 500 on scratches and stubborn seems.But it's no good for large gaps .Recently I've been trying out 'Perfect Plastic Putty'.Im quite impressed with it as it's easy to sand and any excess can be removed from the model with a damp cotton bud.There are lots of fillers on the market.Ive tried lots of them,But the three I've mentioned are the ones I use regularly.\ said:A question for you Dave. I've only ever used Humbrol filler ( only needed filler once I started building aircraft!), but I've noticed that you & a lot of other guys use Squadron Green. How does this compare to the Humbrol stuff? And should I change, because Humbrol filler seems to shrink.
Cheers!
The work you are doing on your engine shows that you have more patience than I have Francesco.I have tried Milliput.But as it dries hard as rock I find it very difficult to sand.I know you can work it before it sets,but I don't like the stuff.\ said:Dave, you're doing a great work here.
... and I don't know if i will ever your patience with mine.

Edit: have you ever tried milliput ? How does it compare to green and perfect plastic putty?
