hello Isaac,


cut the front section from the fuselage off, unwrap all parts (if they are to firm by glue take your cutting knife).


Take the unwrapped parts and scan them with high resolution and maybe with a little help (@joe cocker) from a painting program, you get parts for a repairing session. Try it it and the try is more worth, and if you fail, okay you have a experience more and the wastpaper basket gets more contens.


But when you have success: You are the King! And haven't lost a model!

I really like this last idea. There is really only the one cylinder that needs replaced. The other small damage should be able to be fixed, but the one cylinder will never look pristine again. I am not sure that it can be unwrapped without having damage in the scan of the part, but once scanned, you can use your favorite graphics program to remove the damage showing on the scanned part. Then you can put the nose on it and glue back into place.


I think that would be the best solution since the heavy damage is only on the one part


EDIT -- I didn't mention it, but when you get the cylinder removed from the body of the plane and the nose removed from the cylinder, you will need to take the cylinder apart at the seam. I know this is pretty obvious so far. What I would do before scanning the part is to take the dismembered cylinder part and place it flat in a heavy book for a couple days. This would not only give you a flatter part to scan, but some of the damage to the part will be smoothed out so that when you scan it, there won't be as many artifacts on the new part to fix in your graphics program

I was thinking of something similar.



Thanks

That sounds good. You are correct in your observation that only one part was dented and if replaced, it should be a good repair ( assuming color matching ).

I will consider this. Great ideas.


however....



I am moving in a few months and other models may get damaged in the process, so I will wait to repair after the move .

Yes, you REALLY can use it like a diorama crash with a service truck, it will be ironic! Just paint some aluminium chips over the damaged zone and ready!

OK, that is a good suggestion.

HI Isaac

It seems like a heartbreak.

I think I need to make the nose part separately and restore it.

I support your complete restoration.

I am sure the model will be repaired in the future.


Thank you
