The seams (what seams :D ) look great!

Beautiful build, as always! You set a high standard for the rest of us to strive for. Thanks for sharing.

Edit - Well, maybe not all of the rest of us but me certainly!

(Some of us <not me> are already master builders.)

Nice, Johnny I see you made pic of the week as well, congrats. May I ask another question? wondering what glue you use for skinning

**Johnny** · #34 03-05-2008, 02:05 PM

LOL you funny guys!!
With a well designed kit is rather easy to get a nice result.And this as my first,but certainly not last Halinski kit is very well designed.Trimming is not an option

eveything seems to fit 100%

I use only white glue for all my work.Exept for canopy and parts that involves metal rods,then I use superglue.
The white glue I use is from 3M and is called "school"

White glue from school... Confirmed: it is not the glue, is the guy!

And Johnny, that plane is "seamless" indeed!

I can see the seams alright

But there are no gaps in the joints,and that I'm happy with! The fit it exellent here!

I finished the nose part today.

The front part was a bit tricky to get nice looking, so I'm not complete happy about the result of the look of the ait inlet.But seen from the normal viewing distance it looks ok.The macro lense spots every single detail

Next is the framework for the first and second segment behind the cockpit.
A lot of parts involved on this part.Will continue that part tomorrow.

And at last a pic to show the mess around me when I'm in the middle of a build

Mess, what mess?????
All we can see is perfectly organized modeler's workbench :D

Is this a rock face in front of your window?

**rlwhitt** · #38 03-06-2008, 06:32 AM

That's not a mess, it's just exactly the proper amount of "tool dispersal"!

Great looking build so far too!

From the window I see the sloped hill behind my house.
It's just grass with some snow on top

Looks like a very well organized workspace to me, and a great view to boot.
