Wow, this thread is really awesome, my hat is off to your skills, sir!
As I am heading for my first venture into the soldering kingdom, one question - how do you clean the joints after soldering? Meaning how do you remove the excess of tin?
Such kind words form the master of micro modeling - Thank you!
I gob never with the tin-solder to the model, only a small amount to the soldering rod. The flux is on the model, so I haven't to remove much. If necessary I use a small square file or scraping with a scalpel.
I can highly recommend the Small Stuff engines as I used one on my Caudron GIV scratch build.
Stephen, all my 1/48 models with a rotary engine are equipped with a engine from Small Stuff models, they are fantastic. But this one here is my first 1/72, that is a completely different story!
I just wish that there were more engines in the range so that I do not have to keep building them from scratch!
I have it from a good source: you don't have to wait to long and we will see additonal types to the already nine available ones!
Cheers,
Frank
