The paint was carefully scraped off inside the marked circles. The glue will stick better to a rough bare tube.
Before gluing on the windows,
form the disks into a curve to fit the body tube. Press the sides around a 1/4" dowel or the back of a X-Acto knife handle.
It's hard to see in the picture but there is a curve in the right side picture.
After the first window is glued on, lay a strip of tape down the tube to align the bottoms of the remaining dots.
Repeat on the other side.
Interesting. Why not decals for these?
ReplyDeleteHi Neil,
DeleteGood point! They were probably going for a simple raised detail.
Yeah, probably. Like the OOP Estes SLV.
