A piece of the cockpit floor part cut with single
cuttingblade nippers. The photo shows the
bottom sprue stumps on the part.
Here, the sprue stumps on the bottom of the cockpit floor are
visible.
I'll cut these sprue stumps off with single
cutting-blade nippers.
I sand the spots clean after cutting. Alternatively, I can clean the part with
a straight-bladed scalpel...
or a round-bladed scalpel.
When handling
small parts,
I use straight
tweezers. I don't
hold the part too
tightly to avoid it
slipping out of the
tweezers.
I place the control stick on the
cockpit floor in the slot where the
instructions indicate to glue it.
I then glue it in place using Mr. Cement SP glue. I dip the brush thoroughly into the glue,
wipe the excess against the edge of the container, and then apply a sufficiently wet brush
to the joint between the stick and the floor.
