With my ongoing Trumpeter Kilo conversion I welded the lower hull halves using Tamiya brand modeling glue. Looking at the seams they seemed fused but when held up against the light I could see some light passing through the seams. So I took some strands of stretched sprue and pushed it in along the entire length of the seam then applied Tamiya modeling glue over the stretched sprue.
I'm thinking of later covering the seam with strip of styrenes to reinforce the seam. Do I still need to this or is what I've done initially sufficient to prevent the hull popping apart? Wouldn't the saddles when glued inside the hull also hold the hull halves together?
