Clamped a piece of sheet styrene to the back of the broken manlet and flooded with liquid cement in the hollowed out center. The Hobby Lobby mini-clothes-pins proved very useful!
Filled 85% of the void with StarBond CA plus accelerator, followed by the much thinner StarBond Black CA plus accelerator. Getting the mantlet level with the mini-clothes-pins helps level the thin Black CA before applying accelerator.
Applied a coat of thin Molak Stucco Putty over the black CA. Technically this Tiger will have a “composite armor mantlet.” (j/k)
While the Molak set, chopped the sides off of the 1989 Tamiya Tiger manlet and thinned.
Test Fitting
That wasn’t a good moment yesterday vvvv .
