HMS ENTERPRISE by Keith 1:48 scale. New Kit from M.D.

I have changed the method of making up the frames on the drawing sheet. I now just put a piece of sticky tape over the areas where the joints are, i.e. the chocks and make the frame directly over the drawing. When the glue is dry it lifts straight off without damaging the original so it can be used for both A and B side. No need to copy the original sheets. Works a treat

More Experience I think they should include a few "Test FRames" Next time But yes that would stop them sticking to the Plans
do you assemble both parts before cleaning them up
Thanks

Yes you have to assemble both A and B parts to fair the frame and fit it into the cradle
