What would be the best way to add missiles to a vehicle? Is there a way to add tabs that wont snap off?

Depends on what you are going for? Are you interested in early or late look? Not that it makes it any easier, as it takes work ether way. Though if you are just wanted to add something simple much like the missile mounts on the front of the Devilfish, I would add a slot and push the mount in from the bottom. This would give the mount something more than just being glued on and extra strength with a base you can place more glue on. Depending on how far the missile sits on the mount you might be able to add supports to the mount to prevent breaking, as many of the modern vehicles have. Snowcat snowski mounts comes to mind as example as they beefed them up from the vintage mold. Also I would not use superglue for the bonding, as would suggest epoxy. Though you have to be careful that it will not damage your base plastic as some will heat up too much. Then you have to watch for over doing it, as if you try to clean something that you added too much can make more of a headache. These suggestions are something you can't really come back from, so I would say to practice on something you don't care about before you commit.
Also note the missile you want to use will fit on whatever you use as the mount and how that will impact anything else on the vehicle that its mounted to. Hope that helps some, as some of the other guys might be able to help more though, momaw nadon Last edited by momaw nadon; 11-04-2018 at 04:11 PM.. |
