Eric Lamare
What's wrong with the kit ?

Johan van Meerloo Autor
some dude premade it and did not paint it and used tons of cement
now im going to restore it to be something appealing

Johan van Meerloo Autor
got it for a bargain but still

Erik De Smet
The ideal start for a scrapyard diorama

Johan van Meerloo Autor
yeah, but first Im going to try to save it if it doesnt work I might do that

Pulling up a chair here.
It looks like a labor of love.
It'll look fantastic I'm sure and I'll have a new hero.

I've had luck putting parts in the freezer for a couple of
hours will weaken the bond. At least with tube glue.
Not sure if it works with instant glue. Theory says it will.
I had luck with using ole' Polly Scales' paint remover to
weaken the bond. I'm sure there are others.

Johan van Meerloo Autor
I dont know what this person used so didnt dare to do that, I just used a scalpel to cut into all and that worked

yaay finally someone with the same problem as me with my kits. (except that the noob it was me 🙂)
if you use a paint remover it also weakening the glue bonding.

Johan van Meerloo Autor
well the issue wasnt taking it apart, scalpel did that trick, just the fogged up windows due to that noob, now Im going to make the best of it.

Greg Baker
Oh, I love restoration projects. Count me in!

Johan van Meerloo Autor
Yeah well it started as a miss buy now its okay

Greg Baker
At least it's not like the Airfix RAF kit I bought at a show one year. Opened the box at the snack/rest area and found it was basically an empty box of sprues, returned it and got my money back. Then came to the same show the next year and bought it again... this time only opening the box when I got home... :/

Johan van Meerloo Autor
the last time there was the kit in the box?
here I was happy that at least all the bombs were in it so it was usefull never the less, but would have been very expensive bombs
