non permanent adhesives?
non permanent adhesives?
I've recently purchased a Dragon Wing ME262A and an ME262B. The planes have switchable landing gear, up or down. The 262B fit is fine in the up position, but the 262A is loose to the point that it falls off.
Is there any kind of gently, sticky adhesive that wouldn't permanently bond the landing gear? Or any other solution?
BTW, the models are pretty nice and very heavy. Lots of metal.

I have a few Dragon F-14's and I always have to use poster tack to keep the airbrakes and landing gear door covers on. I have found that the best tacky stuff is the Office DEpot brand that comes in white, not yellow. I've seen the yellow discolor one of my jets. had to repaint. White, no coloration issues.

Yup I use white but it's from Hobby Lobby. Same stuff though more than likely.Black Lion VF-213 wrote:I have a few Dragon F-14's and I always have to use poster tack to keep the airbrakes and landing gear door covers on.

There is a tacky glue that model railroaders use that does not dry out, is effectively permanent in that sense, but actually allows you to reposition (excellent for holding hatches/turrets in place) without a problem. If you want to separate the two pieces you can just do so, clean off the glue easily and start anew.
