Lindberg 1/16 Stutz Racer Build

Don

Lindberg F80 plane model.

Little tidbit about that kit.

It was one of the first plastic model kits after WWII.

Mine will probably be minus 'Mr Pilot' when I build it.

That goes for the joystick too

That takes care of those bothersome small parts!

Pilot takes a bunch of paints that I will forego getting this time.

Small parts gluing tip(You probably know this one)

Put spot of CA Glue where you want part to go.

Dip end of part in CA catalyst.

Touch them together and hold for several seconds. All done!

BTW: Have Minnesota Twins bumper sticker in the den I picked up from a Walmart up

there when I was traveling for awhile.

I have a friend just finishing up a 1:16 Stutz.  It is looking great.

You may be surprised at how small the parts are on big scale ship kits.  They include very fine detail.  32nd scale airplanes are probably better, although even here there is a tendency by kit mfg to include smaller details in kit, but maybe not as much as with ships.
