Yes, it worked well, but I am glad that the work inside the 'web' is finished for now. Next step will be the landing gear; a new challenge because it is -again- very complex in design. But I am getting used to it: everything in this model is complex and every step is a new adventure!
JC,
Way to go. I am still following your report and happy to see your progress.
Please keep your great work.

Lately I've been hanging architectural models on the walls.
So they are reasonably safe,
and I can look at them every day in our little spare room
and I am happy about the successful work.
Five models are now hanging there.
I'll be taking photos of the hanging works soon.
It might look like "Castle in the sky" (1986)
Das Schloss im Himmel (1986) - IMDbDas Schloss im Himmel: Directed by Hayao Miyazaki. With Mayumi Tanaka, Keiko Yokozawa, Kotoe Hatsui, Minori Terada. A young boy and a girl with a magic crystal…www.imdb.com -

Hi Seo, I do have this Halinski P-51D plan.But now I have another unusual choice about glossy paper. This He-219 is older and the theme makes me more excited. Since I bought it, it has been pressed at the bottom of the box for many years. Although it also uses glossy paper, the ink used in printing has no glossy effect. This may be the characteristic of Halinski's early works
I could guess what the paper is. It might have very similar style paper with the '96 model SdKfz.
The troubles in my case were
(1) Those kits are more than 20 years old. The paper in my kit showed less flexibility and seemed brittle.
(2) The adhesion of ink to paper was weak. I used instant glues a lot in building models. Whenever I accidentally touched the kit with small residue of instant glues on my skin, the ink came off....
(3) The paper thickness is a bit thinner than later Halinski regular paper kits.
I hope my troubles would be helpful.

Halinski P-51?
Another model of glossy paper.
PS. I also remember my first time when I worked with glossy paper. It was a Halinski P-51D. I was panicked, making a lot of mistakes.
-
Very very well built. Wonderful.
I remember your troubles by the glossy paper at the beginning but I can not see any now.
Thank you very much for sharing your report and photos.

96s and 96t
Does one of 96s or 96t look smaller than the other?
You are not the only one.
Just illusion.
I remember I learned it in my Psychology 101.

One more remark: I just discovered that for instance on part 23bL the small horizontal mark (indicating, as I suppose, the place where the joint must be positioned) is at the right side in the drawing and at the left side in the model. That might be the answer...
You might be right. I just remember they must be flipped.
-
Thank you! I’ll be waiting patiently!
I might not be of much help.
I didn't take any photos of prints and obviously I have only the frame of #23. Would you take photos of #23 duct parts and post here so that I could regain the memory? I am not sure how but I put my vague memory notice on the fact that I should flip over the highlight parts for the right assembly. You could try. Even I didn't use most of these frame inserts. I think I used the first and the last one to shape the ducts.

Hi Seo
Very impressed by what you are offering us... your thread is also a perfect guide for my own build!
A question to you who knows everything about the Wildcat model:
In the six small instruction drawings showing the position of the frames of the air intakes some part numbers are highlighted in black. The warning in the instructions says that "these parts are wrongly printed in the opposite direction of the parts in the model; the parts in the model are, of course, correctly numbered".
I read it and read it again, and I still don't understand what exactly is the meaning of this. Maybe you can give me a clue, because I want to avoid mistakes that I can not correct afterwards.
Thanks !
I guess your question is for those six parts
I really don't recall what the instruction was and actually I didnot use those part to make intake ducts.
I am not 100% sure but what Marcin Dworzecki meant the arrow directions are opposite.
I am out of town and will get back to you after I am home.

Hello Seo,
are you going to do the wings in a folded position?
Kind regards
Zaphod
Zaphod,
I plan to put the wings in their folded positions. As Marcin pointed out, it would be difficult to make them adjustable. If I have to choose one position, it would be the folded position.Seo by the Bay

Dear Seo,
Parts 103i & 103j are very important, so don't forget to bend them properly.

Zaphod,
Thank you very much for your kind encouragements.
I believe that I follow the instruction
and the original design does not include the separation.Marcin Dworzecki might do it in his coming F6f.
Seo by the Bay
I don't think Marcin include elevator trim taps in his coming F6f.
The image from his FB announcement did not show elevator trim taps.

Hello Seo,
very clean build, the print of the model never ceases to amaze me.
Strange that the small elevator-corrector (or what is it called?) on the right side was not done as a separate part.
Kind regards

Yes, she is. But it would take a lot more time to put them all together. A few week-long trips are also coming around so my construction will be spotty.
