Well, this project may have just come to a grinding halt
.
Here's a question to the braintrust and Revell - do you jackaninnies measure anything? Just to test fit, I decided to see how it looked with the clear half on. Well, lo and behold, from the radio room foward, the clear half is a full 1/4" longer than the other side
.
I mean, really, how the
do they even manage to pull that off? The clear side doesn't require anything new. 99% of the master already exists. All they have to do is reproduce the left hand side in clear. A monkey can do that. Maybe Revell needs to hire some
monkies.
So now I have 4, completely ridiculous, unnecessary options;
1) Cut 1/4" strip out of the clear side and have to deal with a hideous seam
2) Cut the right side, add 1/4" strip and try to match the contour and detail
3) Somehow, leave the clear side off altogether, creating a problem with mounting the wing
4) leave the clear side off, mounting a piece of plexi in it's place, but still creating a problem with mounting the wing (but at least I won't have to dust the interior.
Option 1 is probably my best bet, but how do I minimize the seam? I have a JLC razor saw, crystal epoxy and pro-weld and Future.
Any suggestions?
