Bodybuilding time. A job that it turns out would have been a lot easier if I'd remembered to bring some Revell Contacta plastic cement.
As it was, I had to rely on the Barrie Stevenson's MEK, applied with a slightly larger than ideal, paintbrush.
Normally, I'd tack the parts together with the cement, then run some MEK into the joints. This time, I had to apply the solvent while holding the parts together. It did not go well.
I don't know if this MEK is a lower viscosity than Slater's version, but it shot all over the kit. Result, a fingerprint in the end. That's not a one-off either, this stuff shoots around the model incredibly fast. OK, I'm out of practice doing this sort of thing, but I don't remember having this problem before.
On the plus side, it grabs the parts really fast, so if you can make it work, speedy building will be very possible!
