wing "tips" for Rata
Rata you said peonis heh heh heh heh. (picture beavis laugh).
this post is for you mate. wing tips are a skill that needs a little practice and tlc. I use 220n grit sandpaper cut to a small 1x2 inch piece, about.
gently sand the tips, trailing edges to a gentle bevel. if you bend the paper you are using too much pressure. use a new piece. it should gently drag the edges down. then burnish the tips almost but not including the edge. I use a crochet needle. you can see before and after pics. i'll wait till your lips stop moving before presenting the next step.
after properly and gently bending the wing to shape, top over bottom you can see the tips stay together with gentle pressure no glue applied yet. also not showed yet is color the bloody edges! that white seam ruins the best constructed kits. before I glue the wing in place, I pre glue the edges using thinned glue. this pre soaks into the fibers of the paper and allows the final glue in place almost instantly.
