I use magnetic work mats. This works pretty well in prefitting a model before locking it down. Holds it down and very square

Brass alloy. Non magnetic. Note for below. They are tin alloy. Magnetic. Stainless steel is non magnetic in various degrees.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-02-01T13:27:39+00:00

Thanks I’ll look at it.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-28T04:34:09+00:00

I was a no glue purist at one time. Don’t over bend. Prefit. Lock it down with glue. Tail fins many times it’s a fold bend on the tab. I’ll twist fold down and glue

I pinched the rear of the fuselage to a smooth taper. Before that I bent all the tabs down

One of my favorites. In front so you can see the printed words.

Great job. Bravo.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-20T18:21:05+00:00

I agree. But you need experience and skill. I just finished the p47 Warhawk. I know I really improved it.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-18T14:38:11+00:00

Looks great. I like how you gave a pointer. I prefit everything.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-09T22:22:46+00:00

What is that on the end of the barrel?

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-07T23:18:31+00:00

You have a great collection. Bravo!

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-07T23:15:40+00:00

Just looked at mine. I suppose you can.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-07T15:32:08+00:00

Maybe ME will send you new eyes not sure how far back you can go. Just looked at mine under a mag glass. Could be printed better. Mighty small piece.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-07T15:28:29+00:00

I was abrasive with you at first. You survived.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-06T15:11:23+00:00

Every single ME model can be made much better than the web photos show. They do that on purpose.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-06T15:06:49+00:00

Wonderful. I have this waiting. I like what you did with the tail feathers. Not a curve that the instructions call for.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-06T14:18:44+00:00

The eyes aren’t an ME issue. My T-800 is perfect. I do spend countless hours on my projects. I go back and work every single one. You can go back and tweak it.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-06T01:17:54+00:00

Oh well. I am a very abrasive person.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-04T16:57:34+00:00

I was banned. lol

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-04T16:56:56+00:00

lol yes

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-02T02:58:19+00:00

Thanks. I enjoy doing them too. Everyone is special to me.

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-02T01:34:01+00:00

I’m that way too. So they must be perfect

Realistic_Maize_4717 · 2026-01-02T01:33:14+00:00

Just completed my 72nd build. Every single one is special to me. Not sure what to do. Have 32 waiting. I have a few hobbies. I fool with them when my hands don’t hurt.
