I had to block off the paint bottles so they would not roll away.

GyroCopter Construction

I used more rubber bands to hold the fuselages together. I used the clear Testors Window Maker glue to fill in some of the window gaps.

The Window Maker fills gaps and dries clear. It makes great windows. The Regular glue is great for joining plastic parts, it is easy to apply in small areas.

Once I pieced together the landing gear, I used a couple of the paint bottles to hold the model off the table and allow the legs to dry without touching. I actually used the glue almost as a contact cement. Apply glue to both parts and wait a moment while the plastic softens before joining the parts.

Flettner Fi 265

I built two of these gyrocopters at the same time. I glued both halves together and then held them together with rubber bands. I buy those little rubber bands that women use to make pony tails. They are sold in the hair care products section of many stores and a lot of them are only a couple bucks. They are so cheap you can cut them off without having to worry about the expense.

I built two V2 missle types and two Me109 fighters and these two Fi 265 all about the same time.

Gyrocopter

One of the most difficult parts of this model was gluing down the windows. They did not fit well and I spent a lot of time trimming. Eventually, using a combination of super glue, epoxy, Plaststuct, and regular model glue and clear window glue, they came out pretty good.

Fi 265
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkvieRHk0vdee5AzxIQT6lnRwgiFfBgkNKqysDbBQeZHaz_-jLPc2rXZfH4wJxCy2vPvCm6SRsEaRipvE3UnUfaqSPfEvpIU7NtOpnmRHOWfKf33GFHORPDPBccHe-8GFB4p7g478gzaU/s400/Mar+18+2010+032.jpg)
The Me 109 was the main fighter for the Germans in WWII. They made thousands of them.
They also made some unusual and very advanced designs, the Fi 265 was a gyrocopter.
This 1/72nd scale model is a mixed media kit of the Fi 265. It is a very difficult model kit for advanced modellers.
