2014年3月2日 · I am building a Guillow's balsa model for the first time and looking for some advice. I have chosen to build the #508 Stuka kit. Not only have I never attempted a flying model before, I have never so much as worked with wood and such before. Nor paint now that I …

2006年3月2日 · Then I cut a piece of tissue slightly oversized then dope the wood, apply the tissue, then add another coat of clear dope. Then I spray it with water to shrink it when the dope is dry. Then I add three coats of clear dope, sanding lightly with 600 between coats then put the model together and paint the camouflage or whatever color I'm using.

2011年12月22日 · Which brings me to my question. The 1/16th scale pilot figure with the kit is the same one that was responcible for crashing some of my other Guillows 1/16 models..lol. Has anyone seen a full-body, seated position, WW II American pilot with more realistic detail anywhere? I've found the various 1/16th half-body 'busts', but no full body pilots.

2007年11月29日 · I have never tried to seal tissue with white glue and water. It seems that it would be a little heavy for a small flying model. I use Krylon Crystal Clear fixitive (1303, matte or 1305, glossy) This is a clear acrylic artist's fixative. Two misted coats at a range of about 14 inches should do it. I am not using masking tape on my models.

2013年10月31日 · It is covered in 2 coats of thinned dope. I copied the decals and what you see is copies of Guillow decals on paper, the squadron mark was copied from my reference book. One more coat of dope over the markings. I find that the model needs several coats of dope for the water slide decals to adhere and they still may flake off after some time.

2009年5月3日 · For most of those kits I used the wood that came with it. If the wood was too heavy I called Guillows and they sent out lighter wood. Great costumer service. As far as modifications: 1. The bigger birds like the 300 series must be built lighter. I like the Guillows design and all the wood they use so I use quality balsa and keep the structure ...
