Cowl Flaps

On my Val I cut "sawed" 50% to 75% thought the top of the seam, This enable me to fold them up or "open". On the inside of the flap fold I cut "sawed" two trenches / ditches / groves what ever you want to call them at a right angle to the fold and then filled them with super glue to hold the flap open, worked great for me.

SteveK,

Nice work - I just saw the Val and the results you described are very convincing! (another tip I will have to try and use!)

Thanks!

Hey Gil,

 

It's the Hasegawa 1/48 F4U-4 kit. I've been trying coke can aluminum, but it's been really difficult and it hasn't come out right yet. Steve, I'm saving that tip for the next time, I cut those flaps out about two years ago when I started building it, thanks for sharing it.

 

Thanks

Glenn
