Hello all.Im Mike, Just started my first scale plan,Its a 'Duncan Hutson' Miles Magister.Of some 55" span. On the fuzz,At the front,You have your bulk head,(f1)Then next back is(f2)Which just sits on the top edge of the fuzz,Then next back is (f3).Now,If you can follow me on this,I'll explain as best i can,The sides of bulk head(f1) are taperd,And the sides of (f3),(being the next section which is FULLY glued into place,down the whole side)Is straight.And also wider. Now then,The fuzz side,Between (f1-bulkhead)And (f3) Is some 4" long,And due to the taper in (f1) needs to be 'TWISTED'. I have read about amonia and water 50/50 brushed on,And then this aides.But tried,tested,And no bloody luck later,Here i am. -HELP- Please.Can someone help with advise on this matter,If so,Have a very merry xmas,and also a happy new year,as im going spare!!!!!!.    Mike.
