      Hi All,

      I own a Glynn Guest design ‘P,S.Phantom’ U.S. Confederate blockade runner paddle steamer. This is a really nice model, but some of the handrails are damaged. I didn’t build the model,but bought this one second hand. Some of the brass wire handrails are bent and damaged.

      Does anyone know of any ‘magic method’ of straightening and tidying these. I can’t tell whether they are soldered or superglued to the upright stanctions. Or is the only option to replace them.

      I am sure this is a common problem with R/C craft and any help would be appreciated.

      Tony.

        Tony, your problem…precicely the reason i dont like fitting handrails to my ships. I have a strong feeling replacement is the only way of getting that "original" look back.  Ashley

          Thanks Ashley,

          I can fully agree that they may need to be removed. Sometimes they are best left off altogether, and are more suitable for static display cased models as against R/C craft. Radio craft really need to look good sailing through the water. Tony
