The Little World

I would have written ” wrangler ” but you wouldn’t believe this kit.

The fuselage halves are two different sizes. Not by much, but by enough. I reduced them somewhat upon a sandpaper sheet taped to a flat surface, and then attacked the thicker half with a Dremel tool, The centre seam doesn’t fit, but it does touch.

Where it touches I’ll run in strong cement and then hope the rest can be clamped shut.

The hideous engine cowl will be sawn off – thankfully I have a number of suitable spares in the parts bin that are one-piece mouldings with decent engines inside. Once that is installed I can consider sawing off the rest of the fuselage and replacing it with a Santa Fe freight car.

I do loves me a precise model…Yass!
