Soooooo .... I'm just going to go ahead and show my "rookie-ness" when it comes to aircraft and helos. Since I normally stick to figures and armor, I don't have a lot of experience in building things that mistify us ground troopers by defying gravity ...
I made probably the most classic mistake an 8 yr old can make. Unfortunatly, I'm 30. In my Littlebird build, I just glued the fuselage halves together, reinforced with styrene, and CA .... before I painted the cockpit! .... and .... .
Is there an "easy" way to separate the halves without serious damage? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Us grown-ups don't make such mistakes!!
I'd suggest a razorblade: it's thin and sharp.A dremel with a saw-disk would remove too much plastic.
If you haven't installed the canopy, the "office" can be easily accessed in the Little Bird.
HTH
Thanks Avus. I wasn't thinking about the dremel. I was already haven't a bit of a fit issue, hence the reinforcement. The canopy is not installed, so I'm pretty sure I can get to the cockpit, but I'm not sure that I could really get to the back. That's what I'm mostly worried about. I'm afraid that if I try to go ahead and spray it as is, that I'll a) miss some spots that I just can't get too, or b) that I'll end up over spraying the exterior and have to sand it ... ruining the raised rivet detail....
I'll give the a number #11 blade a shot and just wait for the "pop". Hopefully, it'll work out in my favor.
