Morane-SaulnierN Special Hobby 1/32 Wing attachment
« on: November 17, 2017, 07:39:05 AM »
Servus to you all,

I'm beginning to build the Morane and the only problem I encounter is the attachment of the
wings to the fuselage - the pins won't fit into the holes, them should be round
a) glue both wings on without the pins ?
b) drill two holes into the wing where the pins used to be and use a plastic bar etc. ?

thanks for your help !

Pinning them would the best option, I would (as I have done many times) replace the plastic pins with metal.
You can use brass rod, drilled into the wing. If the hole in the fuselage is too big, you could glue a bit of brass tube in there and make a nice slide-fit with the brass rod dilled into the wing.
Albion makes a series of slide fit brass tubes, they come in handy for these jobs

Thank you ! :)

Yes, it surely will be useful to go the extra mile .
Brass tubes I already have ( often I use syringe needles, too ).
