That white putty spreads nice,, but it shrinks like an old man swimming in the ocean on a winter day.

Tamiya gray is my fav. Smooth and creamy like butter, doesn't shrink. Dries fairly hard, not crumbly at all, and sometimes a little "hot", but good!

Sink Bollards or raise them?

Are there any secrets to gluing the brass fittings onto  the brass deck? aside from just using CA?

Getting back to the model this week.
Sadly, due to circumstances i will not be able to stay true to the historical accuracy of the U-352.  My new goal is simple completion of the Model. Also, I have my eye on the XI but ive told myself "No. Not till you finish at least one model"
So it was either finish the Cutty Sark or the VII.

UGH! HELP
 My model decided to take an unintentional human assisted flight. (UHAF) :o
I Utterly destroyed  the propulsion and steering assembly which apparently tried to act like landing gear.
 The props are busted and the are fins and planes are missing.
I suppose i could just dive into the dark arts of plasti-card again but i would much rather just buy some replacement parts if the price is not too high.

 Can anyone provide some direction or suggestions? ( aside from "Don't knock your model around")


UPDATE: Found some props

Hi Oldnoob,
 
sorry to hear of your UHAF, around here the models of the members of my local club suffer from AAF, Arm Assisted Flight, normally ending with a non athletic meaning to hitting the wall!  ;D
 
Slightly more serious, the G-Factor props are very popular on Type VIICs, there is room for improvement on them if you want.
 
Regards
Jon

Hi OldNoob, hi Cap,


IMO the easiest way is to contact Revell directly, email the famous "Abteilung X" and tell them which parts you need (part numbers from instruction will be needed). They will help you. A friend of mine "destroyed" the "Balkongeraet" of his typenine-kit. It took two weeks and Revell provided him with replacement parts with no charge. Don't know how will be if you live outside Germany but it will worth the try.


Regards
Falo
