I have the above kit to build. Could anybody advise me on the best adhesives to use for assembly? It will be much appreciated,
First off Welcome! You might want to try posting in the Aircraft or Tools forum. Probably will get better results there.
To answer your question however, I would stick with the Testors pink lable cement. It’s a little more mild than say Tamiya, and definitely Pro Weld etc. If you are wanting to assemble it so it’s visible, DO NOT use super glue along the fuselage seams or to attach anything to the clear fuselage half. It will “craze” i.e. fog the plastic.
Hope it helps!
Liquid solvents. You can also mask and paint that will hide the seams and places where the internal bulkheads meet the clear fuselage side. You just need to think it out and plan accordingly.
Thanks for the tip Brian. I am in New Zealand and havn’t seen the Testors Pink Lable so its time to get on the PC and see if its available on line here
Complete the construction at the seams of the clear part.Then airbrush a feather line between the clear area.Camo and clear separated.Then take a cotton swab w/thinner and run down the area to even out the effect.Use Acrylic paints and thinner.
It will look good .My 1/48 clear edition B-17 won a peoples choice award at a local contest in a big city in Seattle,and internationally .
