Has that whole right wing been broken off at the root and soldered back in place?  Does the other side look the same? Seems odd to have a gap between the strut and the fusilage, can it be bent back in to place before gluing?

I would use epoxy, but really that gap needs closing up first.  Try and apply the epoxy so that the bulk of any excess is below and behind where less visible.

Another possibility might be repair putty which I'm sure I've seen in grey, possibly even with a slightly metallic look.

This kind off stuff (shop around, there are several types available)

Inviting knowledge from the hive mind...

My stepson has inherited this model of the Supermarine seaplane:



Unfortunately, the float strut has become detached from the fuselage:



I have rashly said I will try to repair it, but how? The model is made of metal, not sure what sort. It doesn't feel heavy enough for white metal. I would like to try and mend it as unobtrusively as possible, so my cackhandedness where soldering is concerned rules that out, even if I could guarantee the metal would take solder. So that really leaves glue. Epoxy would look awful and I don't think superglue would be man enough for it. There must be something out there that sticks metal and looks like metal.

All suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers,

Chris

Looks like a very good bag of swag at some very good prices.

You must be chuffed

Looking at the wording of the announcement, and the tangible lack of activity, I would suspect the 2025 edition has not actually been published.

All we can do is hope the publisher recovers his health.

Quote from: Newportnobby on Yesterday at 12:56:24 PMEvidently these will only be available to order direct from Dapol so there'll be no retailer discount.

Nope, they don't envisage order volumes being high enough to make it a mainstream model available through retailers, so the only way to order one is at this price via Dapol. Given the NGS BG kit was not far off £30 and you had to make it and the maroon Gresley buffets back when first released in 2008 (I think) were £35 (yes really!) I think the prices are fair personally.

Quote from: Kris on Yesterday at 09:40:17 AMI have put my name down for a crimson one and a maroon one.

Same BG options here, and also a Blue/Grey Eastern Region buffet, the latter is not from an era I model, it is just a prototype that interests me, given what survivors the buffets were and I would love to have one.

Let's hope both make the minimum quantities needed, a case of sharing the message far and wide.

My haul from TINGS. Managed to haggle a little off stickered prices - saves the poor devils having to lug it all home again 



The Dapol M7 was BNIB and just £60 - ran it this AM and it's spot-on: goes like a train... 

The green-livery Standard 5MT required a small tweak to the drive links to stop it clacking, and otherwise looks and runs like new.

The Dapol Hymek was also just £60 and supposedly a noisy, poor runner - it's actually mint, all accessories present, and runs very well, but you can hear a tiny plastic cog somewhere is rubbing against something, so I will dismantle and fettle in due course - more than happy just as she stands TBH.

Managing to get a couple of ever-elusive Bulleid coaches in BR(S) green was a big bonus - they seem to be scarce and pricey (£29 upwards usually, when they do show up), similar for the Dapol Maunsell coach (which FWIW is the nicest coach I've ever handled - detailing is superb, and the linking gangway bellows very well implemented. 

I model Eras 4,5 & 6 so I have expressed interest in the Full Brake in Crimson, Maroon & Blue liveries.

Quote from: cmason on Yesterday at 06:48:35 AMAlthough I have already built the NGS kit rendering of this, I still wantee... hopefully there will be enough expressions of interest:

Are others interested?

Lets see,

Colin.

And my expressions of interest made are:

 - Gresley full brake - teak x 2 ( one of each number )
 - Gresley full brake - maroon
 - Gresley BR blue/grey buffet

Colin.

I, too, have the NGS kit of the Gresley full brake painted crimson.

I have expressed interest in the following:
 - Gresley full brake - maroon
 - Gresley full brake - blue
 - Gresley BR blue/grey buffet
