Présentation
Aye up Geeza, welcome. But being a typical English muppet, I don't do other languages, (unless you count some obscure IT/Computer languages, BASIC, HTML, etc!) So I have no idea what you are saying?- pjgtech

De Havilland DH88 Comet - Airfix - 1:72 - AB Victim no'2
Was gonna prime it up today, but noticed some of the filler has shrunk back, so couple more gaps to fill (again)! My Dspaie sander is getting a good workout though, as its great for getting into those little nooks and crannies.... ;)(y)- pjgtech

De Havilland DH88 Comet - Airfix - 1:72 - AB Victim no'2
We needed to do a bit of filling, not huge gaps, but basically every join needed some work, Lol! As this is another guinea pig for my AB adventure, I have decided to go in-flight mode, so less "bits" to worry about, so have made some undercarriage doors, to cover the opening. Did not seem to be...- pjgtech

A question for you all if I may
I try to avoid PE if I'm honest, most of it is far too small and fiddly for my sausage like fingers, Lol. But on the few occasions I have used it I have used CA (super glue) and I also bought some PE specific glue, (see pic) which is probably just CA but with a different label on the bottle!- pjgtech
