That is indeed a very fine print from filament type 3D device as the rafts appear to indicate it is.

How are the corrugations? Could you furnish a close up of the fuselage?

Interesting.

Can you glue the parts with normal model glue?

In some other ebay ads, the seller specifies it's ABS, so normal plastic glue won't give a strong enough bond. I hope Tom has some specific glue for it.

Railway modelers know all about ABS, Plastistrut is made of it. I've got a bottle of liquid glue that works on it too as I use quite a bit of their neat stuff.

'Hot' cements for HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) also work on ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).

The corrugations look better than I thought. I saw some photos on another site and they looked like corduroy cloth.

You spoil us Tom, using a 20.p coin

Very nice!

zenrat · November 11, 2020, 02:25:46 AM

Wow!

Although I am wondering how visible the dunnies will be when it's all closed up.

But still. Wow!

Yes, there is a very small round window for each, about 3mm diameter. So you probably won't see anything.
But as the super detailers (which I am definitely NOT) will tell you: I know it's there.....
