Red face Wing

So on with the build.

Here is the wing structure.

The entire frame assembly plus the landing gear bay fits in the lower fuselage cut out

Here is the wing. The aileron will be separate.

I was not sure about the leading edge slat separation at this point.


I added additional card on top and bottom of the inner wings structure to smooth the wing when it is glued to the fuselage.

I now glued the wing onto the frame and fuselage using a non water based glue ( UHU ).

unfortunately the result I did not want happened here and the wing skin absorbed the UHU glue and warped it.

At this point, my frustration level has reached a point that I was done with this build.


I placed the whole thing in a tray and placed in the closet. It remained there for months.



I suspect the following causes for some of my misses with this build :

-Something with the paper quality was a bit off.
-I sprayed the paper with acrylic clear and that may have conditioned the paper to the worse ( speculating ).
-I was not in the right mood to build and I screwed up.

This is a rarity for me as I don't recall screwing a model this badly before.


This concludes my screw up phase.


I did pick this model back up two weeks ago and decided to continue and see if I can somehow salvage this build.
