Hello friends,
but I can't get started with the cladding of the
Balsa shell quite that quickly, because, as always, the correct and appropriate order is important, which I have to consider, so that the next steps cannot be hindered. Strength lies in calmness!
That's why I thought it thoroughly again and came up with the following
order.
First, I'm going to cladd up the larger and smaller
"ears" on the inside of the
Forward and Aft Bulkheads. These are only tiny areas, but they first have to be glued before I can glue on the
door cover.
Therefore, next I've determined the
lower contours for these small snippets by using a
Support wall and have drawn them on
Sheet Styrene (0,13 mm ), which I've split beforehand because of the easier handling when gluing.
But since the foil is shiny, it wouldn't match the dull paper of the rest of the side panels, which is why I dulled it beforehand with
Tamiya Sanding Sponge Sheet 2000.
Then I've glued the halves with
CA on the inside of the
Forward Bulkhead and trimmed off the protruding parts,
first on the left inner side,
and then on the right inner side.
The same procedure then followed on the
Aft Bulkhead.
Next I've cut out the
Styrene strips (2 mm) for the top sides' curves of the Forward and Aft Bulkheads,
which can now be adjusted and then glued step by step.
