I have both of those kits waiting their turn. Thanks for the tip on the Acrylic glue, have some inbound.
When I went down this path of artillery I told myself I’d only do towed field guns and anti-tank guns ,no AAA…HAH! That didn’t last.
I’ve also always had a fascination with recon troops and vehicles and I told my self " later,another day"…that day is inbound as we “speak.”
Hi, I’m also a fan of artillery kits (artillery only) and I have a real obsession with the super detail. I also have this kit (K81/2) or all that is needed to create this kit. I have only one suggestion which I will express to you in an absolutely friendly way, that is to try to replace the plastic barrel with a metal one, because fortunately it exists and I believe it is produced by Aber, I own it but I don’t know if I have kept the case for references exact.
For the rest, great achievement!
I use old stip of can…l.
Hi David
The construction you are doing is very good, I really like the 12.8cm artillery pieces. I have a model of the K81/1 from Azimut Productions, to assemble and then I would like to make this model that you are building, so I am going to follow its progress.
Very neat assembly, very good work.
I also ask you, if possible, to share the photos you have obtained of this cannon, I have searched the web and I did not find many period photos (WWII).
Regarding using a glue dispenser, I use a sewing needle with the eyelet cut in half and if you have different needles (different sizes), you have different sizes of dispensers. If you don’t understand it, I’ll upload a photo later.
Greetings

I have these and they’ve worked ok for me with CA. I am probably using the wrong sized loop and wrong CA consistency. I do believe these are designed more for regular cements?
I haven’t had the greatest success using CA with them. I am probably using the wrong size loop and CA consistency.
@Barney Steve, the Glue Looper is at its best with low viscosity glues. It works best with liquid cements or thin CA’s or other thin glues.
StarBond Black medium is thin and works well in my experience. However, after ~4 years my bottle of StarBond Black medium is thicker now and it doesn’t work as well with the Glue Looper as it did when it was fresher and thinner.
