To continue with the Gator Glue saga..........

I TESTED IT & IT IS AMAZING

As I was getting Billy Bishop constructed (really a breeze like Werner Voss) I thought the head was not exactly in position, so I tried to dislocate it using super glue DEBONDER, but I managed to BEHEAD poor Billy so definitely I was not going to use superglue again as I needed to POSITION the head flawlessly this time round, so I reached for the SAVIOUR, the Gator Glue
I tested it the day after and it was STUCK thanks again Doc Roe aka Kinder King

Just one question if I may......was it SOLELY you that DISCOVERED this phenomenon LOCALLY? I mean was it you that pointed this Gator Glue to the likes of Alex, Ivan, and the other AFV Nuts?

Just asking so that I would be able to give them credit if it is due, that's all

Ray

lets just say that the doc was the first to point gator glue qualities. i, same as you had some reservations in the beginning, so i guess its doc's medal

Ok Ok I HUMBLY BOW TO HIM AND KNIGHT HIM AS KNIGHT OF GATOR GLUE

At last after all the hassle I had to endure the DIII is finished .

This is Werner Voss mount and figure was painted by Ray (my brother). Decals are from Spada, although I had to re-paint eveything as these where faded and transparent. Wood effect also from Spada but these where top notch. This model, for the first time, was sprayed with Mister Kit acrylic paint, while for the tail I used Tamiya. Rigging is fishing nylon passed trough turn buckels and small sleeves.

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed finishing it. An questions and critique are more than welcome

Very good question Alex to which I don't have an answer but I guess Joseph took care of this no
