Hi all. Here another 100% scratch work. Aufsetzkran on Opel Blitz.

Blitz not yet finished. Am working on detailing the engine. The krane moves, is folding, etc...

That is "Night blue cement" of Ammo Mig. It is excellent because has a lot of capillarity. Extends very well along the junction line between the parts. Exists in red too. The only thing is that you have to let it try very well.

Thanks I haven't seen that before, I'll pick up a bottle. Is there any difference in the blue vs red other than the color?

I never tried the red one. But I suppose it is the same.
The interest is the same as when you use "Tamiya extra thin". Glue runs fast through the contact line between parts. The color helps you see to where it arrived. I will ask friends about the red one.
The important thing is to let dry very wrll before working on it.

That is really impressive Roberto!

Hi. My friends say that there is no difference between blue and red one. The color makes possible to see to where the cement has gone, depending on the color of the plastic of the build.
Basically, works like the Tamiya extra thin cement

I also have done some work in achieving the inner parts of some panzers, like Panther, Tiger 1, Elefant
