Hi, I plan to subscribe to this magazine and start building the McLaren. I've read that two types of glues are required, ABS glue and super glue (correct me if I'm wrong). What brand of these glues do you guys use and where can I obtain it if they're available locally? Thanks.

QUOTE(hacken @ Nov 7 2011, 12:12 PM) I try to work out the cost and let you guys know on the CF decals. But till issue 52 only they provide with the template, seems alittle too late. By right we should apply the carbon fibre decals before we start assemble..it would be more easy. i think the manufacuturer must have only this of this after they released it. or maybe some feedback by customers. Looking at those country that already issued more further than us, the suspensions rod and the wheel fairings without CF really looks not so realistic. Hacken, if you don't mind, let me know the cost too |

I got my first batch of magazines today (issue 1-4) but issue 1 didn't have the magazine itself. Instead it had two copies of the introduction.
 I've emailed allscript about this and hopefully i'll get a reply tomorrow. |

QUOTE(collinjn81 @ Apr 6 2013, 10:48 PM) I used 5 Ton epoxy as "General purpose". U must ready masking tape. Ahh, thanks. I'm using 5 minute epoxy, but apparently you have to be quite careful with it and use gloves and a mask.Ran through a snag earlier in issue 73 with the front suspension but got a workaround to solve it  |

QUOTE(VincC454 @ Apr 7 2013, 11:26 AM) general purpose glue is normal elephant glue....i dont see why we need to use until epoxy for this model Well elephant glue is cyanoacrylate adhesive which is used in other parts, especially metal components. The official DeA build diary used 5 minute epoxy as well.also i mention tamiya and mrhobby cement are just actually two brands of ABS glue... |

QUOTE(collinjn81 @ Mar 18 2013, 05:18 PM) Very stress for assemble issue number 74.. As mention by Aswlee, I also found there was a gap, on "sidepod cowl part" left site. Mine has that gap as well, but on the right side. Hopefully it'll even out once I assemble the monocoque onto the main body.Planning to fix the "sidepod cowl & copit, together with engine" next week. For my experience, it there was a gab, it will effecting other next issue. [attachmentid=3352338] [attachmentid=3352341] |
