Stuka help please (1 Viewer)

[Peiper007]

I have bought one of the Figarti Stukas and two of the magnets, 1 on the undercarriage and another on the 'drop tanks' are on the wrong way round so I cannot fit one of the wheels/undercarriage and one of the drop tanks on to the aircraft. I am looking on how to solve the problem of the magnets being on the wrong way.

Does anyone know how to solve this, cannot get the magnets out as they are super glued in, does anyone know where I can get other magnets or a way of solving the problem?

thanks

Maybe you can swap it with another new one from your dealer instead of trying to fix it yourself ?

Peiper, I have the Figarti Stuka.... My suggestion is to gently pri-out the magnets with a model knife and re-glue them correctly....My situation was I had a broken magnet in one of the landing gear. What I did was drill a small hole and cement a small wooden peg into the landing gear then I also drilled a small hole into the bottom of the plane that lined up with the peg....then I used 2 ton expoxy to permanently affix the landing gear....The wooden peg acts as a lateral stabilizer...Problem solved....and the Landing Gear is now nice and solid....Hope this helps....Best Frank

super glue debonder from deluxe materials. gently pour a very small amount into the crevices of the magnets and wait a short while. They will come out after the debonder has done what it does melt the superglue. Clean up any excess and then superglue in the magnets correctly. will be as good as new

Well done Figarti!!!!!
