Dr_PepPeR Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Working on and off during the weekdays, finished the major subassemblies, minimal cleanup, didn't do my usual routine of filling all the ejector marks (and there are a lot on the Trumpeter parts!), and sanding till I'm satisfied. This is really a dirty build just so I could finish in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment

If you are really desperate, lacquer thinner will also do it. Quote Link to comment

Dr_PepPeR Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) pwede kaya use mighty bond pangdikit? Yes you can use mighty bond superglue or if you insist, even the mighty bond five minute epoxy. But I would really suggest Tamiya cement for plastics.

If you drop by the malls you can usually find a Special Hobbies store or Lils Futaba in Glorietta, SM North, Virra Mall, Megamall, Ali Mall, South Mall, Festival Mall etc. While there is nothing wrong with using Mighty Bond super glue, you don't have much room for error since it sticks right away. The Tamiya plastic cement or other tube type cements lets you position the parts before it becomes permanent, you just have to tape it in place since in 24 hours the plastic will be bonded. Superglue doesn't melt the plastic like the plastic cement does so while it resists pull, it has less shear resistance. Using the tube glue found in some Academy kits and the early Trumpeter kits also work but use an applicator. Straight from the tube is a bit messy. Try to search on the web the following sites: Hyperscale, Missing Links, Aircraftresourcecenter, Armorama, Perth Military Modeling Society. They usually have articles on airbrushing. The M-1's coming along nicely, Doc! Coming from you that's quite a compliment sir. Quote Link to comment

Dr_PepPeR Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 zamboanga city me thanks for the info bro I see. Ask someone to get a bottle or two of Tamiya liquid cement for you if by chance they get to drop by Glorietta, just tell them to look for Lil's Hobby Store at Park Square 1, the salesladies there are really helpful. My Abrams is fully assembled now and finished sanding and puttying the major gaps last night. Too bad about the smaller dents and holes that can't be seen from the top, I promised myself not to go AMS on this kit. All I have to do is wash the entire kit with dishwasher and then put a primer (will try out the cheapo acrylic lacquer spray can that I got from shopwise) before starting the camo.
