I was tackling the control panel yesterday.

I had left it on the sprue making sure it was easier to add the decal.
How to glue the control panel inside now that I had already glued most of the clear parts?


I had to figure a way out to get it inside.

I came up with this brilliant idea!

How to hold it in place for the glue to set up? Blue Tack on a stick.


Piece of cake…
Nice save!

Oh clever! I was thinking tear it apart and reglue, your solution is much better.

I had so much trouble glueing these parts I wasn’t going to tear them apart. The other brilliant idea was to skip that step.

Yeah there’s times when I just skip, or even remove interior parts. When I did the Accurate Miniatures B-25, I posted photos of the beautiful interior; but dirty little secret, getting the fuselage halves together was difficult so I stripped out most of that interior. It was all hidden anyway and the fit was pretty problematic.
But on the He 111 that instrument panel is pretty visible! So excellent solution.
