The light bulb trick works on resin like advertised. What they didn't mention is that there is a fairly fine line between heating warped resin to regain it's shape and heating it to resemble a pool of melted resin. Watch it like a hawk, don't walk away, maybe even use a 60 W bulb and take a little longer. Just sayin'...

Thans for the warning! I never tried that, only read about, because my parts were ok until now.

Cheers,

Thank you Stephen and frank , nice to have your ongoing support  8)

Made a bit more progress today continuing with the gun ring . I drilled the mounting holes in the fuselage and made 4 pegs using 0.5mm rod . To make sure the everything stayed with the correct spacing I made a jig staying clean of the pegs . The small ring was put in place and another spacer was added followed the the second ring and held in place with tape . Tamiya extra thin ( quick setting ) ran that over the joins at the peg junctions and left to dry for an hour followed a the same steps with super glue . This assembly can be removed and re-installed later after painting . Working out the gun mounting details and should have something soon . Tail Skid is finally finish minus the bungee cord which will come later . The brass PE is from the parts bin and the bolts are 0.5mm hex rod . A few more detail where also added to the fuselage . Access panels dress of the under surface of the wings . Can now start on rest of the struts with their and details .

Brilliant Terri! The gun ring looks so good. Thanks for posting details of how you did it.

The tail skid still makes me laugh, tiny little piece scratch built with utter precision. I just spent 3 days trying to make a 1/32 fuel selector before waving the white flag and retreating to my Triplane project.

Way to go Terri!  Those are difficult details (which could easily turn into derails) even in 1/32.  You have done some stellar modeling here.  Very nice!

Best,

Bob

I agree with the former comments: the gun rings look much superior to the kit parts and as good as any after-market parts. This really is an interesting build log.
