Arma Hobby P-39Q 1:48

ohbejuan · Sep 24, 2024

I started working on the new Arma Hobby P-39Q. So far it is going together very well. It comes with ball bearings to weight the nose down. It even has little spots to hold them in place. I used CA glue (Bob Smith enterprises medium) to hold them. One popped out this morning. Is there a better glue I should use?

2-part epoxy glue, maybe, or even a little bit of 2-part epoxy putty, eg, Aves, Miliput, etc. I think those would give you a stronger bond. Of course, once everything is closed up, it might be sufficient as is, especially if the parts fit tightly to the weights.

Someone had a boring training today

And then I stepped on the canopy for the Q.
Trying to decide if I want to go to the effort of getting a new canopy for the Q or not.

I do have a different variant of the same kit, one which is supposed to have some fixes to problems with the first kit. I think I will build up the N and then decided which to complete. I was in happy with a couple of fit issues on the Q

Turns out I am not alone in my fit problems with this kit. This guy gives good advice on addressing the issue.

After some consideration I decided to keep on keeping on with the first build of this kit. Getting everything ready for primer, but I ran out of gas for the day.
