Mistakes happen , we all make them  ;)

What type of glue are you using ?

Dear Alexis I'm using the REvell Contacta glue ... the one with the fine spout

Just a question as to the glue not drying. Did you remove the paint from the surfaces to be glued? This can make a big difference.

I have not tried the Revell glue so can't comment on it . But Rick is right if the paint isn't removed on the gluing surface this can slow down the drying time or just not dry at all . Also the amount of glue you add will slow down the drying time as well .

I can recommend Tamiya glues if you are able to get them . Either their Extra thin in the dark green cap or their quick setting in the light lime green cap which dries faster then the extra thin .

Your little camel is moving along nicely!  I wish I could help you with the photo posting but I download the Photos from My Android to Postimage then upload them here from My Laptop.

Thanks RAGIII

I think i started with a medium level of complexity... Others valom kits seems more "smart"

The build of second Camel was mooooore fast

Any suggestion are welcome

Any suggestion are welcome

Please re-check the location of the undercarriage legs if possible. The front legs should be just under the firewall.

It looks like you figured out how to post good photos! I also think that you should check that landing gear. Could be on reversed, or perhaps just needs to be further forward like stated. All in all looking good!

Glad that you figured out on posting photo's .

I really like the work you have done so far both builds are coming along nicely . But I agree with the others . If you are able to remove the landing struts and place the under the fire wall .

Keep up the fine progress and I look forward on your next up-date  :)
