Well, the main problem with water-based glues is that paper often tends to absorb them and then it warps, if you use too much glue. Of course, if you are careful, you can avoid it... It is possible. However, I don't trust these glues and I use butapren (chlorine-caoutchouc glue, probably similar...

That's right, and in Halinski's models it is very important to use cardboard as thick as the instruction says. Otherwise you may have problems with parts' fitting. These models' designs are f... khm, let's say, fanatically precise. ;-)

Another aircraft, that's great! :) What kind of glue do you use? Is it water-based? This model's paper is quite thin; it makes it prone to various bashes, bends etc... Water-based glues aren't too good for it then, especially when used in larger amounts. You must be very careful, it isn't...

Looks great. I wouldn't paint it if I were you. I wouldn't notice any difference if you hadn't tell anything about it.

OK! :) As for me, I prefer colouring before glueing because it's just easier. ;)

The ship looks very good, but would look even better, if you coloured the parts' edges. ;-) It's much more work, but I think it's really worthwhile. Also, the barrels shouldn't be white inside, should they? :D

Barry - thanks... ;) But now... Do you mean... what I use to colour the edges? :D If so, I use distemper colour, but poster paint is good too, provided that it is in a tube (otherwise it dries out rather quickly). Some time ago I was using water-colour, but they tend to fade after some time...

Are you going to colour the parts' edges in this model?
