SLIPWAY FOR ROOM

THE SLIPWAY.The one who animaetsya room with model airplanes knows what a difficult job the installation of the stretch marks. But they stiffen the easiest transparent planes, and even a small error in the tension lead to distortion of the shape of the wings. The work is delicate, painstaking and long. And if you say that you pereustanovit model (you need to remove the “wood” braces) to bring it into working condition for 2-3 minutes, and even in terms of competition, it will seem unreal to you. However, after reviewing the proposed method, you will see that it is quite possible.

First of all stretch marks, you need to install on new, not yet covered in the model. At the time of this work, the wing is better to fix the simplest slipway that will allow you to avoid random twists and curves and planes. In addition, you will be able to perform all operations without an assistant.

Then the top node is disconnected and the rack of the rack attached to them stretch marks are folded respectively back and forth in a horizontal position. Model ready to cover. After the film is glued to the frame and trimmed the excess, the rack is returned to its original position. The top node closes again. The same is done when the hull is damaged and needs to be replaced.
 
As you can see, the challenging task was quite easy.
