Cj1........I make no appologies for my "rant", and it wasn't about the question of how to fix rubber to hull..
It was for the fact that some questions put on here show no thought about the question asked, and are a total waste of time and effort for anyone to answer.
the guy answered his own questions about dovetailing rubber into a hull by the fact that it has taken months to get his remaining parts from Speedline........and if you were to do some homework yourself as to the answer to the question..ie, look here....... you'd also realise why kit manufacturers give the modeller at least something to solve for themselves in order to keep costs down.
http://companycheck.co.uk/company/06199397 you might see why people such as Speedline DON'T dovetail their rubber into the hulls at vast expense and go to the extra expense of silicone moulds to produce such a finely undercut mould as one person requests.
If you want a kit that slots together piece by piece........buy an airfix/revelle kit where the building is done for you.
Kit building, as is scratch, an enjoyable pastime where ingenuity is needed to solve problems and half the questions put on here have been answered before, if people only took the time to look and search. and not make silly statements as to producing rubber with dovetailing on it to fit into a hull or other part to fix onto a hull that is a no go anyway if only one was to think about it.
So, instead of making a personal castigation about me (as named in your post) or any other member on here,and a reason as to why you don't post often, think about the question first, and do some research please to see if it has been answered befor...........as the question of gluing rubber has been answered
several times.........including the tip you gave to put masking tape on the lower edge..............I mentioned that many moons ago............so nothing is new.
Now, my rant, as you called it is over.
