Murph's Models, Grumman LLV, 1/27, beta build

Murph's latest vehicle model, Grumman LLV in US Post livery, about 1/27, as is in the kit.
In beta building this model, hot laminate on normal A4 printing paper is used, giving the model a glossy surface that is also water resistant. The con side is that the laminated surface cannot be glued with each other. The trick is that you scrape off the top layer of laminate thus exposing the paper layer that can be glued. PVA glue and CA glue (for edge gluing and strengthening) are used, just in case you're curious.

The next will be LLV Canada Post.
