Very interesting about the tube glue... :hmm: I suspect that it won’t be flexible, but you never know.

You may be able to do something similar with Micro Kleer or Testors Clear Parts glue as well...

in large amounts like this, it did not work at all. Oh well.....just spent over 30 minutes trying to tape the fuselage together to try and fit thewindscreen to see how much is really missing. Extra super crappy picture, but i'm not sure the clear stuff will fill it without sagging likc grannies boobs. This fuselage and the clear pars are very thin. Fuselage is quite flimsy, too. I hope it gets a bit sturdier as things get added. Very minimal join sites at the top.

Hey, Bruce! I do need to shave....I’ll have to check it out next time I am at the store. I am hoping Roden comes through.

I’m guessing Olga goes to work there now. I guess this virusosity could be part of the problem.

Roden is in the Ukraine, right? Send lethal aid and that might speed up the process... :hmm:

Hope you're able to get this one cranked up again providing that Roden helps you out Lyle.
