The rubber band runs right down the top of the fuselage. It is shown in its unwound state in the "assembly" view.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that too, but, that's the only hint of a rubber band, and it's not in the parts, nor the other drawings, and I find that very strange
DeleteI was doing just swell until I got to "banana oil."
ReplyDeletewell, then tell me about a bottle of Ambroid, cause that has me stmped how to acquire some
DeleteAmbroid was a brand of model adhesive.
ReplyDeleteBanana oil, a colorless liquid with a odor like that of bananas, used in flavorings and as a solvent.
ReplyDeleteused in early model building to make the wing covering tight
Banana oil was used to tighten the wing covering, it s still readily available.
