well...
thank you all, I hope to be of some help to whom want to assemble this kite... lindsay, I suggest to do a proper chamomile stock, you'll need at tons!
tomorrow I leave for some days on duty, and I wanted to close the wings, in order to let them dry alone... so, i prepared the last items to be locked before:
the windscreen,
5684
some turnbuckles from gaspatch I wanted to try,
5698
the wing radiator, and all the moorings with bob's buckles,
5686
then a last dry fit test,
5680
5679
and here we go.
BUT
chicken who is born, is agreed that scratch about!
I managed to invert the main struts. so in the process of deglue and reglue them it came out a f***khjmcko,ççàé**ing mess.
moreover, the internal struts, those on the fuselage, are nearly impossible to align properly, not talking to glue them, with their stupid, little, short, non angled tabs!
in the process I realized that a couple of brass pins holes where in the wrong position, so I had no choice but use massive amount of glue. I hate that, and was near to throw all from the window, for her first and very last flight!
after a countless number of blasphemies, curses, and profanity which prevent me from see heaven forever, I arrived here:
5690
ugly blobs of glue are all around, and there is nothing I can do to disguise them.
5693
5694
to fix the internal struts where the pins were unusable, I found nothing better than use thin fishing line...
5697
and that's all. now rests on blocks waiting for the unwrapping moment, where we'll see if it holds...
5703
though I think this should be my space to relax, it makes me scream ... and considering that I have two other roden that I promised to do on the shelf, I might as well begin to pack for the hell of the modeller!
greetings from un upset mc.
